Thanks All - this was just the type of advice I was looking for. I will have to restrain my aperture fever if I want to retain the HEQ5Pro mount.
I understand that the mount is supposed to take about 16Kg but a 300 mm Newtonian plus guider, cameras etc would probably exceed this limit.
The way the weight rod slides into the mount is neat but it makes for a very short rod. I have seen threads which give ways of extending the rod but if you have to do this it probably means that you are overloading the mount. Cheers Peter
