Hi all,

Just wondered if anyone knew where I could get a 2.5kg weight for the heq5 mount.

How about the quick release weights from Decathlon ?

So Tony, what do you need more weights for - have you upgraded your scopes or something...? John

Hi John,

No not a new scope, but the WO66, with the Canon and the WO66 sitting, waiting to be used, I thought it about time to put the two together and start imaging with these, but like Fay I found I needed a lighter weight and so I'm not increasing, but decreasing and so I'm taking Mikes advice and venturing over to Decathlon at Lakeside to pick up some bits and pieces for me and Fay.
So beware John as no doubt I'll be pestering you about the camera, DSLRFocus or something else in the near future. ;)
