counterweights
hey all!
so i've just recently purchased a skywatcher black diamond 8" newtonian from anthony's and it comes with a bresser EQ5 mount. the mount comes with a 4kg counterweight but i'm having trouble getting the scope balanced, it nearly balances but it feels like it needs a little bit more weight to be perfect.
just wondering what sort of weight i would need to get it right? i can buy a 5kg skywatcher weight from bintel but i don't know if that would be enough, would i be able to use both weights but not have them as far out on the countershaft?
cheers, lachlann
