    It's just a weight...

      Comments about Celestron Telescope Counterweight Extra 11# (for CG-5 Mount):

      It's a weight and it made the CG5 heavier. Somehow the scope was not very accurate with this addition. But it might be useful later on. It looks like the original and that's all.

      Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

          What can I say about a counter weight? I is awesome, fits great and is lighter than my 12 pound weight. Balances my scope without adding extra weight.

          Q1: What is the diameter of the hole in the counterweight? I have a Konusmotor 130 and I can't seem to find one meant for it.

          A: The diameter of the hole in the counterweight is 3/4".
