Hey Dunk.
The WO Star 71 and the Zenithstar were probably the first two options I looked at, I was just unsure about how happy the HEQ5 would be in the end.
The FLT98 will be about 7kg all up with rings, dovetail, flattener (when I get it) and dslr, so it would probably be around 9-10kg with something like a WO Star 71 on there as well. I'm pretty sure it would be fine, but I must have read at least 3 different payload limits for that mount so far which put some doubt in my mind so I started looking at lighter alternatives.
Really, I just need to win the lottery without buying a ticket and then I could just sample all the wonderful little scopes out there and give away what I don't use to you guys
