Too little counterweight means wear, tracking errors, and vibrations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.telescoop.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Skywatcher-EQ3-2-Tegengewicht.jpg\" alt=\"Skywatcher EQ3-2 set of two white round counterweights with center bore and black clamping screws for EQ3-2 mount.\" title=\"\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">De combinatie van een groot en een klein gewicht maakt fijn afstemmen mogelijk: het grote gewicht draagt de telescoop, het kleine corrigeert voor camera, zenitspiegel of zwaar oculair.
