Hi everyone.

I haven't been very successful in my search for a mount That will meet my needs well and my budget of under $5000..

I hope to purchase a Tak TOA150 some time in the future and am looking for a mount that can drive and hold that scope well for the time being.

I am close to purchasing a Losmandy G11 from a member on this website, but several reviews say it struggles due to the long moment arm of the toa150 and that wind of just 10mph can generate a wobble with that scope mounted which is not what you want for astro imaging.

Appart from the G11 and skywatcher EQ8 I can't think of any mounts that might be suitable.
The ultimate desired step could weight as much as 40kg.

If anyone can suggest a mount new or used that they feel wouldbe good for such a long heavy scope please let me know.

Much appreciated.

John.
