11 lb. counterweight for use with CG-5 mounts.
Using accessories such as cameras, Lens Shades, Tele-Extenders and the
2" Diagonal will affect the balance of your Celestron
Schmidt-Cassegrain telescope. Counterweights restore proper balance,
increasing ease in handling and improved tracking accuracy.
You don’t need perfect balance to operate your
telescope. In fact, it’s not always possible to achieve perfect balance
with fixed-position weights. All you need to do is reduce, or
eliminate, swing when R.A. and DEC locks are released. Celestron
counterweights help you achieve the desired balance and stability with
ease.
