load

was wondering if a SW Heq5pro could perform carrying 11kg. its rated at 15kg,but for imaging stability?:shrug:

It would probably handle it if well balanced but i would be concerned about the effect of wind. Refractor or reflector?

900mm refractor+guidescope etc.gear ware might also be bad,but its a strong little unit

I had about 18kgs on my heq5 and it worked just fine ...

The only thing is when you get wind it will buffet around a little. other than that will work fine. and in anycase if its windy your not going to get good astro photos. thats my 2 c worth
