As Raymo says, if that works for you then that is the best setup.

An EQ2 is pretty lightweight but with a bit rebalancing with extra counter weight and some stabilisation of the tripod ( more weight underneath works ) it gives you another option to try for lunar and planetary or even solar with the correct filters.

I had a 114 f8 with a DSLR on top and a small refractor alongside for a while all up on a home motorsied EQ2 and got a my first decent pix.

Have fun.
