Hi all,

I'm looking to upgrade my widefield ED80 to a deep(er) field RC8 (1725mm FL). My imaging accessories adds up to be about 3kg, the RC8 is 7.5kg.

My question is can my HEQ5 Pro mount (quoted payload limit of 15kg) be able to handle this load for imaging and still give me sound result? I do run an autoguider with PHD2 as well.

Thanks!
Brendan
