Hi Trevor
I have a HEQ5Pro mounted with a 6in sct. The all up weight (measured) of the mounting plate, 6in sct, guide scope, Telrad, imaging and guiding cameras etc is about 13Kg. I find that the HEQ5Pro mount handles this very nicely. I am thinking about replacing the 6in sct with an 8in fast Newtonian OTA, this would given an all up weight of about 16Kg. In THEORY the mount (which has an alleged capacity of 18kg) could handle this load but I am still thinking and making enquiries about this point.
Cheers Peter
