I suspect it is at the upper limit for my trusty old but fully updated G11G2.? In this configuration it really needs 4 x 21 + 1 x 7 to make it easier to fine tune the balance.? But I was already using the last 21 lb on the GM8G so I had to use 4 x 21 + 1 x 11 + 1 x 7 and drop the counterweights down the shaft a bit.? That said getting the DEC balanced is more time consuming.but it is a lot faster and easier to find the balance point on the bench, mark the spot with painter's tape and then muscle it into place.??

Gotta love Losmandy mounts.? IME there is nothing else like the Losmandy company in the EQ mount marketplace.? And whatever they are they will not have Porter slip clutches to push the scope around for those who are more engaged with the night sky.??
