Gives your scope balance

When I purchased my sun filter for my 12" scope the normal weight balance made it difficult to lock the verical position. You simply replace the rubber feet with these metal weights

About Farpoint FP300

The stock Meade Lightbridge telescope is balanced to accommodate a small eyepiece and red dot finder. Once the user begins to add heavier eyepieces and finders, the telescope becomes very front heavy. These weights replace the push or locking screws on the mirror cell, making them a bolt-on addition.

This "core" set properly balances the telescope for use with a large 2-inch eyepiece and a finder scope or Telrad.
