Description

This is the standard stainless steel counterweight included with HyperStar lenses for fork-mounted telescopes. It has a 1.25" barrel that fits into the visual back of the telescope to balance the weight of the HyperStar lens and camera on the front of the telescope. It is not needed with telescopes on German-equatorial mounts.

The weight has a threaded hole on the back to allow stacking of optional extra weights for heavier cameras.

Emily M. ★★★★★

Finally got the balance dialed in on my fork mount — this stainless steel counterweight is solid and the 1.25” barrel slides in without any wobble. Makes a noticeable difference in tracking stability.

Isabella C. ★★★★★

The 1.25” barrel fits perfectly into my scope’s visual back, making setup quick and secure. It feels well-machined and balanced my rig much better than my old random weight.

Steven G. ★★★★★

The 1.25" barrel fit perfectly into my telescope's visual back, and the stainless steel build feels solid and durable. Balanced my setup on the first try with no hassle.
