Thank you both Paul and Ryan.?

Thinking this through, the easiest thing for me to do would be to just slide the counterweight down on the east of the meridian and slide it up on the west. To make the process fast, I can measure where these positions should be on the counterweight bar. I have the mount in an observatory in my backyard and have never purposefully gone to sleep while imaging. I sit on the couch, watch television, and monitor subs as they come in. I actually love doing this. Adding about 4 minutes to the process of walking out to the observatory to adjust a counterweight after a meridian flip will not be the end of the world.?

Of course, a longer-term solution that does not depend on my being able to stay awake at night watching streaming shows would be a counterweight acting specifically on one side of the RA like Ryan has done. This could also work for the G11T and I have an extra 3.5 lbs counterweight from ADM that would work well here.?

Ryan, do you happen to have the stl for that sleeve you printed to hold the counterweight??
