If not, what mount could hold those?
Thanks

Paramount ME, and that new meade mount could!!!!
the eq6 will hold 20kg very well, and maybe up to 25KG, I have had the c8, the ED80 and the M500 all on the mount at the same time with the canon camera, 2 2" WO diagonals, 1 17" nagler and a 24MM 2" ultrawide Meade EP, 50mm finder scope and 3 5kg weights. I would not reccommend a large scope over 10" newt, as the wind would buffet it too much, and it wont dampen out shakes too quickly.
So a seed has been planted Mike has it????
