Carrying capacity might be another factor. Best confirm that.

thanks logieberra,
PE can be corrected via the option on the handset. I do want a guidscope port on the mount so that I can invest in a guide scope set up.
My main motivation for imaging and tracking is to carry out measurements and monitoring long term on various astronomical objects. Sensational images and using post processing software is less important to me.
I prefer to measure redshifts of galaxies than produce award winning images using supreme accuracy tracking. Most likely quasar redshifts because of their relative brightness
