A series of mounts and adapte for counterbalancing a Meade ETX telescope in its fork mount. Proper counterbalancing should result in less teion required on the clutch locks and hopefully, longer life for clutch components and gea.
Fit is an adapter for attaching a small 1"ID barbell plate to a 1/4"-20 threaded hole. The picture shows a 1.25lb plate attached to the rear hole of an ETX-125. This plate alone is not enough to balance my ETX-125.
Next is a rear cap that accepts a 1/4"-20 screw. The 1.25lb plate was too heavy and too large in OD to allow the telescope to be pointed straight up. I'm going to try using stacks of large fender washe on the cap for fine tuning while the 1.25lb plate stays on the undeide of the OTA.
I can use different caps set up with the correct weights for each of the eyepieces and cameras that I use.
