A dual system would be very productive. I can see the appeal. Hmm, maybe I should look at that. Another scope? oh no someone stop me!! The only thing there is not every target suits a wide field view as well as the narrow field view. But a lot do.
My best guess is your NJP would handle it but only just. You'd be at the limit. I successfully imaged with a TEC180 and guide scope on an NJP. That was a very long tube and its quite a heavy scope - about 20kg plus cameras etc.
The FSQ is ideal for that and a classic scope with more runs on the board than any other scope. AP130GTX with reducer/corrector though would be hot.
