Hi Gary,

I've shot you a PM with my maths on the payloads etc.

I purchased it from Sidereal Trading in Melbourne in August 2022 so yes I expect it still has plenty of warranty.

Cheers,
Ross

May I ask - why do you say it simply wasn't designed for 30+kg of astrophotographic payload ?

Also - when was it bought originally and who from - would it still be covered by warranty ?

The EQ8 was my second choice, but a bit too big for me as I don't have a pier - at least not yet

Thanks,

Gary
