No more than 2x5Kg Mick. Perhaps even one might do - what's the weight of the OTA?

I'd go for 2 , those scopes are heavy...

Hi Daz

I'M not sure as i haven't got it yet, ive just been told that it's massive. I only own

one weight and the scope should be arriving in about a week or so. just want to be

prepared i think to be on the safe side i should get the second weight

Cheers lads

You'll need another weight, trust me.

Here's a snap of my 120mm size 'scope. The one weight is near the end of the bar, so for your 150 I reckon its two weights.

Yeah your right KK i'll need at least 2 or a longer bar. Can a longer bar be had

for a CG5? and how much, i'll have to check that out

Cheers

If you so needed, you can have three weights on the mount instead of a longer bar. I think two should do you though.

I would prefer a longer bar if possible as it means less weight overall

but the deciding factor is going to be cost.

Thanks for everyones input.

Cheers Lads
