I have a C-8 Ultima which seems to be a bit tail heavy. Its not unbearable but can the tube be "adjusted" in its saddle? With my dew shield on its also a bit nose heavy? Can anyone recommend a good counterweight system?
C8 counterweight?

Brent, I use a counterweight system that I think was made by Losmandy. It has a rail that is mounted to the bottom of the optical tube and a sliding counterweight system that you can add other threaded counterweights to. I bought mine from Oceanside Photo and Telescope, Check with Anacortes first though since they sponsor Astromart.
