Hi Graham,

I think EQ5 is not adequate for this load. Once you have everything else needed for AP (camera, finder, tube couterweights, tracking..) you will be over 18-20kg on one side of the mount in no time.
I am currently working on my 10", OTA with optics only has 15kg (fiber glass) and EQ6 is *just* good enough to carry all that.
I am even thinking about EQ8 for all this....
