It is therefore necessary to restore proper balance by adding one or more counterweights, making it easier to perform corrections with the mount and improving tracking accuracy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePerfect balance is not required for the telescope to operate: it is enough to reduce or eliminate oscillations when tightening the mount's RA and DEC axis clamps.
