I'm interested in peoples experience with the EQ6 and in particular how much load it can take. I'm planning to use my ED80 to guide while imaging through my 10" f5 Newt in a side by side config. I've got all the parts and set it up (without guiding) and it seemed to cope with the load ok (4x5 kg counterweights were required to balance it up). I'm getting the mount upgraded to the goto version next week so new motors.

Does anyone have the EQ6 pro or EQ6 goto version with this type of load?

Cheers
