Marmot Posted May 6, 2021 Share Posted May 6, 2021 Thought I would post this just as a bit of fun and to canvas the thoughts of all you stylish people out there🙂 I had a counterweight that was a bit scratched and battered and as the weather was rubbish I thought I would repaint it to tidy it up. A quick look in the garage revealed some left over primer and a part used spray can of a bright green paint. So that’s what I did.....painted it green. So now I have to decide weather to paint my other weight green to match or weather I leave it white? your thoughts please..........Green or white? 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AstronomyUkraine Posted May 6, 2021 Share Posted May 6, 2021 Does it make any difference? It will have no colour when imaging at night. 😀 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dmack1 Posted May 9, 2021 Share Posted May 9, 2021 (edited) I like the green, but being in Ireland I'd probs do the second one in orange then I'd have the mount in the national colors!🇨🇮 Edited May 9, 2021 by Dmack1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg M Posted May 23, 2021 Share Posted May 23, 2021 I thought for a while in painting my CGX counterweights to match the Celestron orange color but two things stopped me from proceeding. 1. The first challenge was finding a matching orange without having the actual color from Celestron. 2. After about 3 months of use and seeing how dinged up and scratched my original black colored weights were getting, I realized just how bad those scratches and dings were going to show up on a bright orange surface, so I changed my mind. It looks great now though so take all your beauty shots now before they are used a few times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
