Balancing act!

Celestron's 11-inch counterweight bar assembly will help you add balance to your life!

Using accessories such as cameras, lens shades, tele-extenders or a 2-inch diagonal will affect the balance of your Celestron Schmidt-Cassegrain telescope. Counterweights restore proper balance, increasing ease in handling and improving tracking accuracy.

And the 11-inch counterweight bar assembly helps you add those weights. It's a metal rod that runs the length of the telescope tube, attaching to both the front and rear cells. Once the bar assembly is in place, counterweights can be attached to it and moved along its length, as well as perpendicular to it, for better dynamic balancing. Each counterweight bar assembly comes with mounting hardware and one 2.5-pound weight. Other weights can be purchased separately.

An astronomical laser pointer will help you share the sights with friends.
