East bias. What weight for string method for HEQ5 pro?

Hi Folks
Im using HEQ5Pro. Has 9Kg imaging loaded on Losmandy saddle.

I’m getting 0.8” to 1” tracking error which I’m happy with but only at >45degrees and <80 degrees altitude approx. Close to the meridian and at low altitudes RA tracking gets worse and get mild to moderate oval stars. Im setting up East bias weighting using string method. I found 250g helps a little with RA error. No problems with DEC error.

Any suggestions for optimum weight on the string?

Thanks

Chris
