Balancing for camera and eyepieces

[DanLXIX]

I balanced up my scope the other night with an eyepiece in but later that session switched to my DSLR and completely forgot about re-balancing it, probably because I'm using the Synscan app and once I've set up I don't like to touch the tube. What do others on here do to deal with the imbalance caused by switching to a camera? Am I better balancing for the camera as imaging needs better balance than viewing?

Looking at the kit in your signature, I would balance for the camera. The off balance forces caused by an eyepiece should be well within the capabilities of an EQ5, allowing you to find the target.

As above. The balance of the scope is only really important for AP and for visual tracking is not much of a concern.
