Esprit 100 Owner Question

[Adam J]

Can any owner of an Esprit 100 provide me with a measurement please?

I am wanting to know, with a camera / filter wheel  (ZWO preferably or similar weight) / finder scope (guider) fitted,  how far forward of the mount centre line does the scope extend when in balance and with / without the dew shield retracted. 

I am trying to work out if it will fit under my obsy roof without having to park the scope horizontally.

I have an esprit 100 but not the camera. If you tell me the weight of your camera I'd be happy to mock it up with  weights and tell you the balance point

Got the answer  thanks ill post here incase someone needs to know in the future. 

41cm forward of the balance point with the dew shield extended, 39cm with it retracted (it does not really retract once the rings are on) and 85cm total length from front to back with the camera in focus. 

So the last question is...is it going to be too heavy for my Heq5 pro to handle....
