for astrophotography there is a rule of thumb for the mount:
never load more than half (or for some mount-scope setups 3/4) of the advertised load capacity.

believe me, it's just not fun at all noticing the motor and gears dying under the load while you're desperately trying to image with exposures longer than 2 seconds...
