"The mount head weighs 3.9kgs. It carries telescopes up to approx. 8kgs (depending on the lever arm). " (Quote from TS)
Counterweights and tripod can be fixed locally.
So I reach :
- C80ED: 2.1 kg
- CP4500: 0.4kg
- Vixen GP-E head: 3.9 kg
- motors and controler: 0.6kg
- bits & pieces: 1 kg
Total: an optimistic 8 kg
I assume this is the minimum price to be paid for DSO imaging.
Would be happy someone proves me wrong.
Asian imagers seem to be rich people; their mount alone is more expensive than all my stuff...
The Borg / Kenko Portable Photo System is given for "short exposure photo" only.
