Yes, I have 2 weights and a 5kg – a conversion job.
The fun is that I want to use it with a 1980s C14, which is hefty and… its got a somewhat over engineered (15kg) cradle holding it. So, with focuser we’re looking at >35.5kg load. I know its on the edge for balance but certainly will be if I add something like a filter wheel and OAG. I have to say I’m tempted to stay with the current counterweights and extend the counterweight arm – though playing with molten lead again would be fun.
As for all this talk of molten metals: don’t try this at home kids.
