11 LB Counterweight for CGEM Mounts

This 11 lb counterweight is made for Celestron CGEM Series computerized telescope mounts. It restores balance when extra accessories such as cameras, lens shades, tele-extenders or a 2" diagonal are attached to the optical tube. Proper balance reduces strain on the mount's drive system and helps maintain accurate tracking during visual observation or imaging sessions. The black finish matches the standard CGEM aesthetic.

Suited for CGEM owners adding imaging gear

Astrophotographers and visual observers who mount heavier payloads on a CGEM will benefit from the added mass. Users of other Celestron mounts or non-CGEM brands should verify compatibility before purchasing, as the counterweight shaft diameter and threading differ across product lines. Anyone who never adds accessories beyond the stock configuration does not need this weight.

Integrates on the CGEM counterweight shaft

The weight slides onto the existing counterweight shaft and secures with the supplied locking knob, requiring no tools or modifications. It frees the mount's motors from fighting an imbalanced load, which preserves tracking precision and reduces periodic error. Ensure the total payload including this counterweight stays within the mount's rated capacity.
