0.5kg / 20oz EP for XT8i balance advise


Recommended Posts

Hi guys

I'm getting my first scope, an XT8i in about a month or so. I'm wanting to buy one 17mm eyepiece to start with.

I've been looking at a Celestron Ultima LX or a Orion Stratus.

The orion stratus weighs in at about 0.34kg or 14oz. I've read that the Celestron is a slightly better eyepiece with for clarity toward the edge before curvature takes place etc.

My concern is that the weight of the Celestron at 0.5kg / 20oz will cause issue with the xt8i balance? I'm also planning on using a barlow.

Could I find out if there might be balance issues or if this kind of weight is acceptable?

Thanks

Daniel
