I've been struggling with mount balance issues in my astrophotography setup, leading to frustrating tracking errors and wasted imaging time. Instead of buying expensive counterweights or upgrading my mount, I found a simple, effective, and super cheap DIY solution that cost me less than $15.
In this video, I walk through the problem, my thought process, and how I implemented this trick to get perfect balance. It's a practical fix that might help others facing similar challenges with their equatorial mounts.
I'd love to hear if anyone else has tried similar low-cost solutions or has other clever DIY hacks for astrophotography gear!
