Gso rc8 (cf) + cg5

Hey guys,

This won't be happening for a long time, given that I've just purchased an Atik 314L+ and will need guiding & filters, but...

Once I've gotten the above I'm likely to be looking at longer focal length scopes in order to better photograph my primary interest: galaxies.

I've seen these carbon fibre GSO RC8 tubes weighing in at 7.5kg with a focal length of 1.6m and I'm wondering whether my Celestron CG5 GT mount is likely to be able to handle that for imaging or whether I'll need to upgrade my mount first... any thoughts?

Cheers,
Lee
