I don't know. You have to balance the OTA to see where the balance point is.

Hello again I made some touches to the telescope. I made new bearings in order to balance perfectly without any counterweights. U made them 1 piece this time but the drawback is that the scope can point from 15 degrees and not lower. I made them like this in order to fit in my car. I also painted the rocker and the mirror box black.

Guys, the goto works well with you? I also tried it tonight. Every time i was going to a target, I was syncing. But every time i went to saturn, it went way up and to the left. I manually went then to saturn, I was syncing, i then went somewhere else near, then again to Saturn and it went way up and to the left again. 5 degrees away or something like that. the base was leveled and the clutches were tight. The problem is that it hasn't a finder, so if you want to go to something invisible to the unaided eye and it doesn't go there, then you cannot find it. Skysafari also cannot sync to an object if it thinks you are far from it.

Yes but when I changed to lighter eyepieces, it moved and then the goto was not accurate etc. Anyway, if you say they alla are like this, I cankot do anything about it. I am aware of the 2 hacks. I have already tried the PTFE tape but it didn't stay in place, it teared apart. And I will definitely make the shroud. Yesterday I managed to split the double double, saw some other objects also. PS: the focuser is the weakest part of this telescope.

I cannot find Skywatcher SynScanLink option. You are talking in SkySafari options in telescope setup, right? I also tried port 11882 but it doesn't work. Where can I find the exact steps I have to make? The skywatcher manual is totally useless. Do I have to make any firmware update or something? PS: It worked! I changed the IP address to 192.168.4.2.
