Balance Vertically First

• Point telescope vertically
   

• Carefully loosen clutch
   

• Push telescope lightly in each direction to determine balance
   

• If telescope is top-heavy (toward finderscope) add weights to the bottom of the scope
   

• If telescope is bottom-heavy (away from finderscope) add weights to the top of the scope

    Balance Horizontally Second

• Point telescope horizontally
   

• Push telescope lightly up and down to determine balance
   

• If telescope is front-heavy, slide weight toward the back of the scope
   

• If telescope is rear-heavy, slide weight toward the front of the scope
