A new side-by-side set up by Losmandy: http://store.losmandy.com/404.asp?404;h ... om:80/vsbs
I got it when I was experiencing the same clockwise weight issues that I did with my AVX, caused by my finder scope being too heavy on the west side of my scope.
the side-by-side setup It is pretty heavy, and balancing was hard at first, but once you get the hang of it is pretty cool how it all works out. and it looks awesome! It will allow me a lot more control when balancing. I did not have a dovetail plate for my guide scope, only the vixen-style finderscope base that it came with. I ordered a dovetail plate, but in the mean time, I just installed the rings directly on the side-by-side plate. It took me about an hour to get it all set up and balanced. The hardest part was readjusting the guide scope.
Anyway, I can already see that my guiding is better. I will have an update at the end of the night to let you know how it goes. Thanks JayTee for the recommendation!
