I have been using all kinds of scopes and mounts in various parts of W.A.
for nearly 50yrs, including 6, 8.5, 10, and 16" Newts on various mounts.
The cem 26 is quite capable of handling a steel 6" f/6 Newt, let alone a carbon fibre one. A larger mount will not eradicate the wind problem, but will reduce
it somewhat if it is a lot larger. Newts are wind magnets, so preventing your
images being ruined by elongated stars demands other courses of action.
Operate in the wind shadow of a high fence, or maybe a shed, or your house,
or if out in the field, a vehicle.
You could also quite easily and cheaply make a portable wind shield from a
couple of wooden or metal stakes and a large sheet of cloth or plastic.
