Mounting a refactor on a CGX-Z mount question

[Caddman]

Hello,
I want to mount my refractor on my CGX and CGX-L mounts. These mounts were designed for reflectors where the majority of the scope's weight lies at the back of the scope. I need to counter balance the refactor using some sort of weights on the eyepiece end of the refractor to balance the scope. There must be a system somewhere that accomplishes this. I would appreciate any advise.
Thank you
Glenn

Ankle weights in front of the focuser will work, can you push the refractor forward in its tube clamps?
A longer dovetail plate also helps with balancing a refractor. I usually use 203mm on my small refractors and 330mm on my larger.

GEM Mounts have No Bias whether the load is a Refractor or a Reflector or Catadioptric - the Center of Gravity is still the same and over the Center of the Saddle.
What you are describing is the weight-bias toward the front - the Primary Optics - and is addressed by repositioning the Scope Rings.
If you are planning for Visual Observing, unless you have a "Hand Grenade" EP then you will need to move the Scope Rings forward to reach Balance.
If you are planning for AP Imaging, you will likely have to move the Scope Rings to the back.
If your consideration is to add a Counterweight along the Scope Body, make sure that you add it inward of the Focuser, as the last thing that you want to do is introduce or exacerbate any Focuser Tube "Droop".

I'm guessing that you are concerned about your Stellarview 130. It is very similar to my Meade 6000, which with my Filterwheel and Focuser Motor and Camera I actually had to move the Scope Rings backward to extend the Primary Optics to reach Balance...
