Rod and Richard, I am not up to speed on all the tech jargon and different mounts but the EQ35 is only 5.5kg when used as equatorial mount. It goes up to 10kg if you use it in single RA mode, not sure what this actually means but possibly should be looked into. Apparently the 10kg ability is not available out of the box and requires you to purchase Star Adventurer accessories. It looks like a very old designed mount with drive motor boxes etc hanging off the side using wires, seems a strange mount for 2022.
