  2. Hi Carole' This is a photo of my refractor on my NEQ6 mount, i have tried to balance the scope at DEC but the scope keep going up due to it's weight on the back end. I not long bought a longer dove tail for the scope but the two screws keep hitting either side of the mount. So i can not move the dove tail along the mount to balance the scope. The first photo have a short dove tail which came with the scope, The second photo with a longer dove tail, but the two screws stop the scope to balance. Mark
