I'm trying to figure out if mounting an altitude bearing off center (front to back) affects the overall balance of a dob.
The question is...if I were to move the altitude bearing towards the back of the dob (the picture on the right) does the balance remain linear as the scope is moved from horizontal to vertical. Or does it tend to be top heavy when it's towards vertical and bottom heavy towards horizonatal?
