Hi - I've found that adding the SV "multi-use plate" between the mount and rings lets me adjust the position of the scope so it balances properly. Otherwise, you might check with SV, the newer ATs use a single mounting ring that may alleviate the problem.

Bob, I have the AT1010 on the same mount (M4), a 2" diagonal, and I use eps ranging in weight from orthos to a Panoptic 35. With the extra plate the rings can be mounted closer to each other, and in a more forward position relative to the mount; this is just enough to give the balance adjustement range that is lacking in the standard setting. If you rebalance between eyepieces, no tightening at all is needed.
