Isn't carbon fibre heavier than aluminium though? I usually only need to focus once each night, sometimes twice after a few hours. I'd read that Peter Haese thinks his 12" RC is too big for a G11, thus the musings about a truss design. Still, the industry does seem to be taking notice of the steadily increasing number of amateurs getting hooked on astrophotography which has to be a good thing.
