Only a suggestion, why not go for a 10” f5 carbon fibre newt from Sidereal Trading ? It has a focal length of 1200mm and is lighter than a steel tube OTA
At least it’s manageable if you have to pull it off the mount and do some maintenance
A 12” or 16” truss newt is a beast of a thing, but maybe you want a beast up there in Tabby with your dark skies ?

Just a suggestion

Hope more experienced folk chime in with their advice !

Cheers
Martin
