Dear Forum
I am currently looking for counterweights for an EQ6 Mount.
I expect that two weights would be better, each weighing about 5kg each.
Anybody have spare weights or know where i could get my hand on some.


THanks

The item is BW EQ5M (2Kg counterweight) cost 40 euro

Shipping cost to Dublin was 18 euro

thanks for the reply

I actually bought the mount from there, and based on the fact that i was
going to need at least 10kg, i figured at the time i would make something
myself rather then pay for the cost of shipment for such a weight. I am now anxious to get the scope finished and would rather get weigths asap!!
