Q: 1. Is the iOptron iGuider Autoguider System compatible with iOptron Skyguider Pro?

A: The iOptron iGuider Autoguider System BH #IO3360 • MFR #3360 Will fit on most finder scope dovetails, so it can be used with most OTAs regardless of size or configuration.

Q: 2. Is this any different than a normal ball head? Can I just use one of my regular ball heads with the star tracker?

A: This is like any other ball head with pan and tilt

Q: 3. Are these filled with steel or stainless or lead shot?

A: This Matthews Shotbag contains lead shot pellets.

Q: 4. I'm not sure of the term for the slot for vertical movement. But, is that slot on the front and back of the head?

A: The notches in the front and back of the iOptron SkyTracker Ball Head v2 allow the camera to be positioned vertical for portrait photos. This is a common feature found on most ball heads, not just an iOptron head.

Q: 5. Does this clamp fit the orange rail on a Celestron C8 OTA ?

A: The Losmandy DVWS 2.5 lb Counterweight System (BH # LODVWS) is designed specifically for Losmandy's larger D-series and smaller V-series plates. It would be purely coincidental if there is compatibility with Celestron mounts.

[6.205 lb] Having recently purchased the iOptron Extension Bar, I purchased this lighter weight to reduce the total weight on my mount. This lighter weight was all I needed to balance my CEM70 after removing two 20-pound weights. This made my mount very happy. My mount smiles now. :) 5

[6.205 lb] What can I say, it's a counterweight. What did surprise me was the cost of shipping was so reasonable half of what other people were asking or less and it got here really quick. Of course the counterweight works perfectly but there's really no reason to write a review, so this is for BH photo thanks! 5
