I will contact Hardin Optical about
the altitude bearings allowing the tubes to always raise to the zenith (mirror
end heavy) above about 40 degrees elevation. This problem may well have been

Solution one: Buy some expensive heavy eyepieces

Solution two: A nice heavy magnet can be stuck on the tube to help
balance it.
