For lightweight scopes like the C5 ota, the Astroslew is stable enough that you do not require the counterweights or counterweight shaft, hence the setup is very portable. For C8 ota, the counterweight & shaft is probably recommended for better stability, smoothness and to prevent the scope from tipping over!

Please PM me at 93626105 (hp) to arrange demonstration at Clementi.
Very impressive.

I saw the design two days ago when I visited denebman. Very well made and the movement is very smooth.

The price is also good.

Greta to know that we have a Made in Spore mount that is better than those German Giro mounts.

Hi,

How much would it cost if I need only the saddle but not the dovetail bar?

The saddle is S$ 79 if it is sold separately. Try before you decide to buy.
