out of interest, what scope(s) are you considering that would require a larger mount?
I am considering building a 12" f5 imaging Newt, and even using carbon fibre tube truss construction the extra gear, like camera, filter wheel, guidescope setup, light shield, mirror heater, fan, etc will push it to 20kg which is beyond NEQ6 imaging capacity. I would like to keep a capacity buffer as well.
