Balancing Weight Set, for 8" double mounting plate

Leveling-Counterweight-Set (2,5kg Counterweight, 300mm counterweight-shaft and Mounting Block M14)

Operating observatories multifunctionally is the dream of every astronomer. It is essential to be able to set up the equipment for various applications in as few steps as possible.

With the Leveling-Counterweight-Set, the weight distribution of a telescope system and different situations can be compensated very easily by simply moving the leveling weight. For example, in the case of a heavy camera, the weight can be pushed forward, and in the case of a light visual setup, the weight can be pushed all the way back along the counterweight shaft. If you add a small photo lens, this must also be compensated for. By shifting the position of the weight in relation to the center of gravity, it is thus possible to respond optimally to changes in equipment. The set is equipped with a 90° angled holder to be able to easily attach it to double mounting plates.
