Tube Balance Weight Systems permit the balancing of heavy or long-lever-arm accessories attached to the eyepiece-end of the telescope.
Each weight assembly attaches to factory-threaded holes provided on the underside of every Meade 8.0", 10.0", 12.0" or 16.0" Schmidt-Cassegrain or 7.0" Maksutov-Cassegrain telescope.
Three differing weights are supplied with each unit, permitting considerable variation in the total weight available for balancing:
- #1401 for all Meade 8" SCT models
- #1402 for all Meade 10" SCT models
- #1403 for 12" LX200 or LX200GPS Scopes
- #1404 for 16" LX200 or LX200GPS Scopes
- #1407 for 7" LX200 or LX200GPS Scopes
