I noticed you mentioned about removing a counterweight to lessen the overall weight. As far as I’m aware Sky-Watcher mount payload ratings do not include the counterweights.Also reading a lot of threads on CN, having your counterweights closer to the mount is better for tracking due to moment of inertia and improving the centre of mass when balancing, pushing them down the end of a long extension bar and removing one is not recommended unless your payload is maxed out
Only reading lots of posts about it
