Mark,
Good choice as I wasn’t aware of your situation with weight (back ) portability and not being able to set up permanently for periods of time ( the EQ6-R is more of a permanent mount, definitely not for someone with back issues )
You have the benefit of reduced backlash being belt driven and pec training if you want to go down that path
The stated 15kg payload is normally for visual, hence AP payload would be more like 10kg to 12kg max , still can carry a decent scope with camera and accessories
This mount will be whisper quiet when it slews, your going to love it
Enjoy your new toy
By the way , May is looking good for AP so you don’t have to worry
Cheers
Martin
