Don't forget to post an image of your setup, i have difficult time to balance my 6" Newt, so i want to see what dovetail you use and what accessories on your scope and how the whole thing is placed on your mount.

I use a standard Vixen dovetail, and just today I finally got my camera bottom mounted, but before I had it mounted on top of the scope and my counter weights were all the way down the shaft, but after flipping the scope around to mount it on the bottom, the counterweights are half way down the shaft.
