Counterweight for the Meade UWA
As I mentioned in the other thread, now that i've got my Meade UWA, one of the first things I noticed is that the UWA is darn heavy.. I need some magnets/weights for the back of my scope..

At around 20 degrees altitude and lower, and the scope starts tipping down, and that's with my 1 spring connected.

What do you recommend I use to weigh down the back of the scope? Ideally something that can be easily removed for when i'm not using the Meade EP.

Thanks for your advice.
