Does it become a hassle to move your lead shot can around or do you
simply know where to put it?

I'm trying to picture this... holding the tube, removing one eyepiece,
moving the leadshot can, and putting a new eyepiece in--all in one fell
swoop.

Sounds like a new Summer Olympics event! Tullis wins the gold!

I've been lucky I guess. Both Discovery dobs I owned balanced fine (8"
took some felt on the inner part of the rocker mount) and my 7" Oak
Classic has a tube cradle so that one can find THE best balance point
for all eyepiece/barlow combos without having to mess with anything
else. OTOH, I don't throw a Termi-Nagler at it, or 2" eyepiece/ 2"
barlow combo either.
