Hi Dave
Hmm, that is most unwelcome news! Granted that my MoonLite is the Tak motorised version, specified at 8lbs carrying weight, it easily holds the following combo:
- Tak x0.8 Reducer/Flattener
- SBIG CFW8A colour filter wheel
- SBIG ST7E ccd camera
For the MoonLite Dual Rate Crayford Focuser (Model CR2), the Moonlite website states:
“Vertical lifting capacity is 8 lbs. and is user adjustable for even greater capacity if needed”.
Contact them to see what you should be adjusting, it sounds like you should be able to fix this?
Cheers
Dennis
