How heavy is the 150 Newt?

I'm asking because it's quite possible that you could get a tracking mount that can accommocate either the Newt with your camera or the camera with your lens for astrophotography - and not pay (much) more than if you get one of them tiny tracking photo heads.
And still be reasonably portable - incase that's a requirement for you.

If the Newt ways like 4kg or so you could get a motorized EQ5. They often also come up 2nd hand.
If it's heavier - well, then the mount would be in a different price class.
