What's driving your 14" SCT
I'm thinking about upgrading my spare pier with a new mount head. I'm hoping to avoid the cost of going for another Titan so I want to see if a G11 will drive a C14 for imaging purposes. The bare OTA runs about 23Kgs so figure another 5 Kgs for camera/guider etc and you're at the published instrument limit of a G11 (Losmandy rates at 60 Lbs instrumental load). I wonder whether anyone else has successfully imaged (probably at F/6.3 or Hyperstar) on this sort of setup.
