[ATM] eyepiece changes and balance problems

[Jay Kirkland <jaykirk2@compusmart.ab.ca>]

I just discovered TeleVue's new (?) web page - the last I checked years 
ago they were hosted by Astro Mall or something - and accidentally came 
across a 1 1/4"/2" eyepiece adapter made out of solid bronze, made 
especially to help counterbalance scopes when shifting from a heavy to a 
light eyepiece. And that reminded me of last month's thread in which 
just such a counterbalance was suggested by some.  It's certainly not a 
perfect solution, but it's easy, and if your altitude bearings have 
enough friction, it might be all you need.
