I have just looked at it on the OPT website
I thought they might be going in for competition with the G11. No way. They have really gone bigtime. 250 lb capacity, though the info is a bit confusing. It says at one point 250 including wieights and then further down 250 instument capacity. If this includes counter weights, so say halve that. 125lb = approx 70 kg. You would have to assume that this is photographic carrying capacity and not visual. Who in their right mind would pay that much for an equatorial mount just for visual use.
I'm looking forward to reading the first reviews of this beast and see how it compares to the established Astro-Physics etc.
(me buy one HA! This is more in Strikers territory
)
