Counterweight Accessory for CDK17

Finally got my imaging rig balanced without having to swap heavy equipment around. The three half-pound weights let me fine-tune incrementally, and the bracket mounted cleanly to the front ring.

I’ve been dialing in my imaging train, and these weights let me fine-tune balance without any wobble. The bracket bolts solidly to the front ring, and the extra half-pound increments make a noticeable difference in declination tracking.

The three half-pound weights let me fine-tune the balance on my CDK17 without adding too much mass at once. Setup was straightforward with the included bracket, and now the mount holds perfectly in Dec for long exposures.
