Just the OTA.. start adding bits and pieces and it gets heavy, the EQ6 doesn't like heavy! 
The MT160 + ST80 or finderscope would work well I think... Considered an OAG given the wide field nature of the scope? |
Yeah well, I dont facy long FL in the field
.
The tak is for a field mount, although I might just leave it where it is mean time and take NF and WF at the same time
.
From memory, the tak is 12kg by itself, so im starting to get iffy about the EQ6, Ill look into it more, just dont want to shell out for a G11....again. Yes, itll be easy to guide.

Must be nice to be able to just whack another scope on top of the RC10 and fire away, certainly looks strong enough to carry a CAR!

Its a Paramount (guad, what a wanky name
), but I dont want to lug it around.
The pic wasnt meant to be a masterpiece, but I recon the stars are nice and small/round anyway, that has to be a good start
