Hi Peter. Agree with Tony and John, EQ6 should probably do the job OK. As suggested, check the tripod first - might be able to stiffen it up or replace. Otherwise, if it suits your viewing routine, maybe consider a mobile pier mount, or even a fixed pier.
The other thing to check, if you haven't already done so, is to make sure that the drives on the mount don't have excessive backlash and that the screws that hold the mounting puck on the top of the mount are tight - any play anywhere can upset stability with a heavy load. Regards Ray
