HEQ5 and 10" DOB

G'day, Maybe a silly question, but will my HEQ5pro mount handle the weight of a Sky-Watcher 10" DOB ? I picked up DougMCs DOB, and it got me wondering whether I could make the DOB into a good GOTO and tracking scope by getting some rings and a dovetail.

Depending on where you get your information from, an HEQ5pro will handle anywhere from 8kg to 14kg.

Am I kidding myself? I like to think outside the square, but some of my ideas have been somewhat retarded in the past

Regards, Dutch
