Cheers

The weight of 10" OTA and imaging accessories comes in at just under 18kg's, the f4.8 Skywatcher OTA is about the same weight as the Gso f4. Collimation of F4 newts can be a pain to get right, I'd stick with the f5 or f4.8

Yes there is a check box to turn of the view, I find them distracting. I have corrections done every second so my graph looks smoother. I am now using an OAG which has shown a big improvement in guiding.
