Extra balance, extra stability<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The Skywatcher AZ-EQ6 5.1 kg counterweight helps your mount work more stable immediately. You simply add extra mass to keep your telescope balanced. This prevents vibrations. Your image stays calmer and thus much sharper.You notice it immediately when using heavier eyepieces, cameras or accessories. The mount moves more fluidly. You need to correct less. And your tracking stays clean, so you can observe without frustration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Skywatcher<\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

For a smoother and more reliable setup<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

This counterweight is made for the AZ-EQ6. It slides easily onto the rod and secures securely. You twist it closed, and it stays put - even during longer sessions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The white surface is hard-wearing and looks neat next to your mount. The 5.1 kg provides just enough counterforce for a wide range of telescopes. This keeps your mount balanced so you can focus on the image instead of the hassle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What to expect<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

\u2713 Quieter image, less vibration
\u2713 Better balance with heavy accessories
\u2713 Smoother tracking and aiming motion
\u2717 No optical gain (balance sheet only)
\u2717 Not suitable for other mounts<\/p>\n\n\n\n
