The Celestron Counterweight Bar for CGEM & AVX Mounts, with a length of 10.5 inches, is an accessory designed to balance telescopes mounted on Celestron CGEM and AVX equatorial mounts. Here's some information about it:
-
Purpose: Equatorial mounts like the CGEM and AVX require precise balancing to ensure smooth and accurate tracking of celestial objects during observation or astrophotography sessions. The counterweight bar is used to attach counterweights, which help offset the weight of the telescope and any additional accessories mounted on the mount.
-
Length: The counterweight bar typically has a length of 10.5 inches, which is suitable for accommodating standard counterweights used with Celestron CGEM and AVX mounts. This length provides sufficient space for attaching one or more counterweights while allowing for proper clearance and balance adjustments.
-
Compatibility: The counterweight bar is specifically designed for use with Celestron CGEM and AVX equatorial mounts. It features mounting threads or slots that securely attach to the mount's counterweight shaft or bar, ensuring stability and safety during operation.
-
Construction: Celestron counterweight bars are typically constructed from sturdy materials such as steel or aluminum to withstand the weight of counterweights and resist flexing or bending during use. The bar may feature a black or powder-coated finish for durability and corrosion resistance.
-
Adjustability: The counterweight bar allows for adjustable positioning of counterweights along its length to achieve proper balance for different telescope configurations. This flexibility enables users to fine-tune the balance of the telescope and mount system, ensuring optimal performance and tracking accuracy.
-
Additional Accessories: Depending on the telescope setup and weight distribution, users may need to purchase additional counterweights separately to achieve proper balance. Celestron offers a range of counterweights with varying weights to accommodate different telescopes and accessories.
