Load limits including camera, cables, guide scope, rings, dovetail, etc:
Celestron CG5--25 lbs (11kg)
Celestron CGEM--30 lbs (14kg)
Celestron CGE Pro--90 lbs (41kg)
Losmandy G11--60 lbs (27kg)
Losmandy Titan--100 lbs. (45kg)
Another way of putting it:
CG5--8" SCT
CGEM--9.25" SCT
Losmandy G11--11" SCT/8" newt
CGE Pro--14" SCT/10" newt
And the above presumes a piggy-backed guide scope and probably with an autoguiding camera.
And, it presumes wind protection. For photography in the open, even a Paramount ME isn't big enough for a 10" newt.
IMHO.
