Mel,
this is it...

It allows independent movement of each scope in x and y axis making balancing quite simple no matter what is hanging off the scope.
Mounting the guide scope beside the imaging scope keeps the weight closer to the axis of the mount however this bar is quite heavy so an additional counterweight will probably be required.
If the guide scope is mounted on top of the imaging scope the centre of gravity moves further from the axis of the mount so you will probably need additional counterweight in any case.
