Guest CodnorPaul Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 Have just put my new 2" diagonal on the 8SE and it is significantly larger than the old one - at what point do I need to start thinking about extra balancing weights, or will just moving it all the way along the bar do? I have a Hyperion Zoom at the moment so no big EPs going on, but that could change in future! Are the extra weights more for if you are doing AP, and for just visual with 2" EPs I would be OK?

Guest CodnorPaul Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 Thanks Pat - problem is on the Nexstar mount it is not that easy to tell if it is balanced as it is the single fixed arm side mount - unless there is something I am missing? I have done the balance on a pencil thing and got it balanced before, and now put new diagonal in just moved it back a bit further? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest CodnorPaul Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 Excellent - thanks Pat. Sorry - just 1 more question - by setting the OTA slightly forward of the mark wont that make it front end heavy, so I would need to move the OTA back to put more weight on the back? Or am I reading that wrong? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest CodnorPaul Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 Thanks Pat - might take you up on that. I am not having problems as such as it is attached fine, just want to get balance right to save on the gears. Will have a go - thanks again!

Guest CodnorPaul Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 Now that may be a bit technical - might pick your brains about that one as would not have a clue where to start and what to use! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
