The AZ-EQ5 will handle both of just fine, even for astrophotography. Used to run a 102mm triplet on mine without an issue & you have plenty of leeway for the C8.
Another plus for this mount is it's portability, the mount head is a couple of kilos lighter, despite the greater capacity. And if you're feeling adventurous in AZ mode, you could run both at once on the mount. I used to do that with EAA.
I'm beginning to wish I had kept mine now & saved longer for the EQ6-R, but I was going to newtonians so wanted the extra capability of the bigger mount.
Cheers,
Mark
