It was mentioned in the Better View Desired "Big Scopes Fight Back!"
article (http://betterviewdesired.com/bigscopes/index.html):

    The larger objective also effects balance. The 65 is noticeably
    back heavy.
 
> 4.  Has anyone else found any other solution to the problem?

Swarovski sell a balance rail accessory.  While aimed at digiscoping
to counter the weight of a camera, I suspect it can also be used 
to balance the weight of the scope over the tripod head if it has
sufficient range of travel.
