I didn't weigh it but I can tell you its big and heavy. I wouldn't even think about using one in a dob smaller than about 12" aperture, unless you like playing with counterweights a lot.

It is physically larger than the 13mm ETHOS and weighs quite a bit more. I didn't compare them directly, but I guess it would weigh about the same as my 17mm Nagler T4 or even a little bit more.

Cheers,
