gem question

Posted By Robert Poeske

I'm about to place a permanent mount pier in my back yard for my fork mounted sct. but since I may switch to a GEM mount in the future I need to leave enough space between the position I will mount the pier and the fence of the back yard. I am working in tight spaces. My question is how long is the counterweight shafts on most popular mid size Equatorial mounts. ie. vsp,vgp, cg5 lxd55 and75 ect. thanks.
