Celestron - Counterweight Extra 11# (for CG-5 Mount)

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.
