This does the job, but I have major concerns about thread strippage. I think this could have been engineered way better to have a shorter extension off of the mirror box and still provide the weight needed for balancing.

I needed some extra counterweights on my ES Exos Nano equatorial mount, and these worked well. My refracting telescope is now balanced.

I'm a bit peeved I spent as much as I did on my 12" second Gen truss tube Explore Scientific Dob only to have to pay extra for what it would not function properly without.
