At the moment the OTA with Losmandy dovetail bar, diagonal mirror and heavy 2 inch eyepeice could possibly be around or just under the 18kg mark?...........I don't know for certain.
If the mount was already overloaded as some may suggest, it should be bouncing around all over the place..................but it isn't...........that I'm sure of.

My idea is to use my 12" meade for purely visual and planetary imaging - I believe the EQ6 or CGEM will be good enough for that.
I simply cant afford 4,500 for the next most affordable mount up, which would be the Losmandy G11.
