Bintel BT250 f/4 Imaging OTA

Hi James
I would plan to mount this on a Skywatcher EQ6 pro mount.
The only other weight would be a modified 9x50 finderscope/guidescope, plus my Canon 500d.
The only other payloads would be the mounting rings and a solid universal losmandy style plate.
The whole rig sits in an observatory on a very solid 180mm pier that is sunk 4ft into a hole full of concrete.
My question is will i be over taxing the mount for exposures no longer than 3 minutes?

Cheers Carl
