Balance problem

[graway (Graham)]

Hi
I hope this the place to ask this question
I have just got a 10 inch skywatcher relecter & eq6pro mount
to compliment my 8 inch dobsonian.
My problem is that i cant balance the scope with the two weights
that come with it as per instuction manual
Can someone tell me if i need more weights or am i doing
something wrong
Hope someone can help please

Regards
Graway

Graham,

It took three counterweights to balance my 10" newt on EQ6. Another option is to get an extension bar for the counterweight bar.
