hmm... most of the calculations go over my head... so lets see, the total weight hanging off the end has less relevance than where it is place. so if mike for instance wanted to put a guide scope on ih 12" he would be better off placing it on the side or underneath so that the extra weight is closer to the axis of rotation therefore needing less torque?
what if he were to place his camera, filter and indeed fovuser under the scope closer to the axis of rotation? would that require less torque from teh motor and therefore make weight less of an issue?
