Thanks for that g__day. I'm looking at 10-15kg max. Exposure between 1 min and 5 min using a Canon 40D. I spent this week-end in the blue mountains with some mates and did some shots with a 6 year old Nikon Coolpix 995 piggy backed on a Takahashi EM-200. It made me realise how important good tracking is as I compared shots from the same camera and settings on other mounts. The sharpness of details the pictures was very different (on M42). So I think the bottom line is to get the best mount I can afford for my budget and Losmandy it is. I'll start widefield, then invest in some decent optics later down the road.
