counterweight was created by johnomahony
Hi

I am looking for a counter weight system for my old meade 8" 2080B so that I can use 2" eyepieces. I saw this one on the telescope house site which looks neat (but pricey)

Can anyone recommend a reasonably priced weight system for an old scope?

Hi John,
If you send me a design of what your looking for I will get it made up for you. Plus if you send me the measurements for the counterweight on the CGE I will kill to birds with one stone.It will be much Cheaper than buying them new.
