Chris, I dont know about de-forking an LX200, but I have a 12" LX200R tube on a G11 and its OK, marginal, but with care you can do great pics with it. My ED80 guide scope tipped the weight over the limit, but with an ST80 guide scope it was fine. I see your FS60 guide scope is only 2Kg, so itll be OK. I also had a heavy ST8XME camera and autofocuser, a DSLR would be much lighter. The light guidescope also had much less flexure. You can see pics of this rig, and astro pics from it on my site.
