Well I re-aligned scope and got a flattish graph in both axis for about five minutes.
But when I attached DSLR it went off after about 1 minute so I assume my OTA balance is off with the camera.
Question- with my Meade APO 80mm on a short dovetail plate with guidescope rings- anyone know how I can balance the objective end of the tube as I assume the camera + guidecam (SSAG) and finderscope are pulling the back of the tube down.
I guess I need more weight at the front end but the mounting plate I have for the cgem is quite short-i.e no shuffle room to move weight of scope forwards etc.
Outside of getting a custom made plate made which is longer- can you get weights that attach to any scope?
I have some meade SCT weights but they slot onto a guide rail specific for the LX 90. Fishing weights and velcro?, one of Sadie's overnight nappies? (pretty darn hefty!)
