The Explore Scientific 5 lb Counterweight for EXOS-2 / EXOS-2GT Mounts balances lighter telescope loads on the mount's counterweight shaft. Because it's smaller, it's ideal for compact refractors and short tubes, or for fine-tuning balance alongside a larger weight — the key to smooth, accurate tracking.

Frequently asked questions

5 lb or 9.9 lb?
Use the 5 lb weight for lighter, compact telescopes, or add it to a larger weight to fine-tune balance for heavier setups.

Why does balancing matter?
A balanced mount tracks more accurately and reduces strain on the drive motors — important for both visual use and astrophotography.
