The Celestron 22 lb Counterweight is expertly crafted to fit 32mm counterweight shafts, ensuring a secure and stable addition to your telescope setup. This counterweight is equipped with a sturdy lock knob, designed to keep it safely attached to the shaft during use. For a comprehensive list of compatible telescopes, please refer to the product description section.

Ideal for either enhancing your existing mount setup or as a replacement component, this counterweight plays a crucial role in balancing the weight of the optical tube assembly (OTA) and any additional accessories on the opposite side of the Right Ascension (RA) Axis. If you're adding extra equipment like cameras or guiders to your telescope, you might need to incorporate additional counterweights to offset the added weight.

Proper balance is essential as an imbalance can potentially harm your OTA, the mount's motor gear, and could lead to issues with tracking accuracy. Adding extra counterweights can enhance the responsiveness of the system by reducing mass inertia. However, it's important to distribute the counterweights evenly along the shaft to prevent damage to your setup and to ensure cost-effectiveness and suitability for your telescope configuration.

The counterweight comes with a durable knurled knob lock that securely holds it in place on the counterweight shaft. This 22 lb counterweight is specifically designed for 32mm shafts, making it a suitable choice for a range of Celestron mounts.
