***Roswell Astronomy Remastered*** Balancing your telescope & east balancing (01/06/2018)

[@nadirteymurov1]

Out of all Roswell Astronomy videos I was missing this one most !

[@GeorgiaAstronomy]

Really?? Thanks Nadir!

Great tip on the thumb screws strap to hold camera in place; I went straight to do it. I recommend checking your third axis balance too, just in case.

[@GeorgiaAstronomy]

Thanks South! Has saved me several times!

[@MetalZlig]

Best video I've seen on balancing!! :D

[@GeorgiaAstronomy]

Thank you MetalZlig!

Great video. I love that string technique. It will probably help a lot when you’re imaging up near the vertex so it gives you a continuous weight as the scope passes across the zenith.

[@GeorgiaAstronomy]

THanks Louis! Definitely took me a long time to figure that out years ago when I first started.

Good idea about the bungee strap around the camera wish i had watched your video a month ago before my ASI294 slid out and hit the patio concrete and broke the camera.

[@GeorgiaAstronomy]

DAAAAAMN Chris! That totally sux. I definitely feel for you. I've dropped two cameras during this hobby.

[@mariospenard5125]

Nice technique. I am using a second small counterweight to adjust east/west balancing, and it's working just fine.

[@GeorgiaAstronomy]

Thanks Mario! How are you attaching?

[@lheaphillips3334]

Thank you for video very interesting

[@GeorgiaAstronomy]

Glad you enjoyed it

Now if your polar aligning to the south (i have 0 visibility at my home to the north), would i put weight to the west? Or still east?

[@alexandrarosa264]

Do I rebalance when I point to my target?

[@GeorgiaAstronomy]

Hi Alexandra. Thanks for watching! No reason to if already balanced.

[@NGC7000]

For this weight hanging, is that not going to create vibrations if you have a little wind?

[@GeorgiaAstronomy]

Not typically, no. If there is enough wind to swing the weight around, it will already be pushing the scope far more.

[@MrLink-dk7yn]

Brilliant!

[@GeorgiaAstronomy]

Thank you sir!
