You would struggle putting a 10” f5 newt on an EQ6-R mount for imaging ( maybe a 10” f4 )
For visual a 10” newt is ok on the EQ6-R mount
I have two EQ6-R mounts at different locations for imaging, one has a 6” f6 and the other has an 8” f5 newt which has a payload of nearly 15kg
A 10” f5 newt set up for AP would have a payload of 20kg to 22kg maybe a kilo or 2 less for carbon fibre
No point pushing a mount to its limits for AP (not recommended)
An EQ8- R mount would be overkill at 50kg payload rating
Maybe some members can suggest another mount which would comfortably carry 22kg for AP use
Cheers
Martin
