Thanks Mike, yes, the setup and midnight stripdown loses its magic pretty quickly, especially when it doesn't work after you set it up!
I have tested the RC8 and 150HNT on the AM5 mount, but with no CW. It slewed quite well but was hesitant to return from full meridian position looking to the horizon, pic attached. I expect the counterweight to solve that.
Total weight of the two scopes plus NUC and saddle probably doesn't exceed 20kg, so should be good.
