I did a calculation of my imaging train weights and was surprised.
I am at 39kgs which is the limit of the PMX.

I'd say its doing pretty well considering.

OTA 26.2kgs
dewshield 3.2kgs
rings 2.2kgs
Proline 2.5kgs
Filter wheel 2kgs
Atlas focuser 1.36kgs
Adapters .4kgs
thermal blanket and dew heater .3kgs
cables, plugs .4kgs
Astrophysics 6 inch dovetail plate 1.9kgs
Losmandy D dovetail plate (on top of the rings) approx. 1.4kgs

Up around 42.3kgs. It adds up fast.

Greg.
