Sorry Dave, I think even the AP1200 would be struggling with a
16" GSO.

Fair enough , RCs and open truss dobs up to 16"

There is simply no good sense in paying what would be a lot of money
and finding the mount inferior to the task even by just a small
fraction.
Better to do some homework and over-engineer a homemade job as-per
Trevor Barry's example or look bigger than the AP1200 IMHO.

Steve
