G'day Trevor..

I've had all at once...

C11 XLT + 3kgs worth of accessories (dew shield, heater, moonlite focuser, finderscope) 17.5kgs or so
Megrez 102mm F/7 APO 3.5kgs
Side by side bar .55kgs
DBK31 guiding ~? next to nothing
QHY8 imaging .8kgs
all associated cables dangling off the mount etc... took 4 counter weights right at the bottom of the counterweight shaft to balance it...
I produced a few good images with that setup, though I do think it was a bit much for the EQ6..

so yeah, 22.3ish kgs.. If you want to see some of the images produced I can post them up for you..

Alex.
