Orientation of pier/riser relative to legs


 

A day or two ago I asked how best to achieve CWD position. Sonny replied

When beginning with everything plumb from the tripod up, it is natural for the weight shaft to be centered on a North pointing tripod leg.
I just realized that my tripod is set up so the counterweight shaft is between two legs, it can¡¯t be over a leg. Not that it matters that much but I think my short pier was put on incorrectly. I can take our the 6 bolts and rotate it 30? (??) so that I can put the head on with the shaft over a leg.

Can someone tell me what is the correct position? Is the Gemini 2 unit supposed to be on the east or west side? The way mine came, the unit would be on the south side.

The picture here seems to indicate it should be on the west side (actually north-west).
