Counterweights was created by wellbuttie
Hi all....

Due to my recent purchases for Astrophotography et. al............. It now looks like I will be in need of an extra Counterweight that will fit a CGE counterweight bar.

Any ideas as to the most economical route to take folks??????

...... oh and the I have to be clever, 'cos the missus just saw my last credit card statement which included the aformentioned items :wink:

Let us know how you get on. When I added the 2" accessories and a telrad to my CGE, the counterweight is now about 1cm from the end of the counterweight bar. I just bought a helical focuser from Dave Lillis which might tip it over the edge.
You could try Carl at the AI shop or Patrick at Telescope Service. The shipping cost might be a high due to the weight.
Good luck :)

Steve - what's the diameter of the CGE counterweight shaft? I have a counterweight kicking around somewhere that might fit...

Cheers
Dave
