Which Celestron counterweights work with which mounts?

Whether you are enhancing your mount setup or buying replacement parts, below are the counterweights that go with each one of our recent Celestron mounts.

The purpose of counterweights is to balance out the weight of the optical tube (OTA) and accessories on the other side of the Right Accession (RA Axis). If the balance is off on one-side or the other, it can do damage to your OTA and setup, the motor gear, and/or may have issues with tracking accuracy. You can add additional counterweights to improve the responsiveness to the system by reducing the mass inertia, though you need to make sure you space out the counterweights along the shaft to reduce damage to your setup and that it is cost-effective and worth it for your telescope setup.
