i have no intentions of getting a fork mount
the SCT will ride on my HEQ5 until i eventually purchase a G11
if i was to get the C8 the weight would be almost a non issue but since the meade is a few kg's heavier its getting to be a bit of a worry for long focal length imaging, im still confident that the load wont be too high to be able to produce some good results, im just guessing that consistency may be a problem (ie. having to discard subs due to tracking errors)
