Sorry - missed the 22kgs - that's a fair bit for an EQ6 for astrophotography. As stated before - what sort of tracking precision +/- 20 PEC for a EQ6, +/- 8 for a Vixen Atlux, +/- 7 for a G11, +/- 5 for a VMA 150, +/- 3.5 for a NJP, +/- 3 for a ZX4, +/- 2 arc seconds for a high end Astrophysics of Mountain Instruments brand, +/- 1 for a Paramount ME (all mounts that could handle your specified weight load and capability range) etc... So how much pointing accuracy do you desire and can afford?
