Add another 63kg Ving...
The Paramount ME has a 68kg (150 pound) photographic instrument payload capacity. Having stated this it will do more. It will carry a RCOS 20" Truss RC that weighs right on 150 pounds. Add guidescopes, cameras etc and you'll find it will handle around 75-80kg. I read one guy had his loaded to 90kg with three scopes hanging off it - still tracked with arcsec precision (just well balanced). Will certainly handle Fred's 12" LX200R that comes in at 16.3kg (36 pounds).
