Sky-Watcher 10 kg Counterweight for EQ8 series

Sky-Watcher 10 kg Counterweight for EQ8 Series: Balance is Key

An equatorial mount only performs when balanced: the counterweight compensates for the weight of the telescope and accessories, allowing the motors to run lightly and evenly. Too little counterweight means wear, tracking errors, and vibrations.

Met 10 kg is dit het gewicht waarmee de EQ8-klasse zware buizen als grote Newtons, RC’s en refractors in balans brengt. Meerdere gewichten combineren kan, zodat je de balans op elke configuratie afstemt.
