Sorry to jump in on your thread. I recently noticed the specs on the EQ6 pro goto was 25 Klg's. I have a 12 inch gso dob that I want to mount on the EQ6 pro. It is a very heavy unit and was wondering if I could get some Advice. The specs specified,
  • Extra Heavy Duty: 25kg capacity
  • Dual saddle (Vixen-style and Losmandy-style)
  • Extension shaft.
  • Latest version 3 firmware
  • Positioning Accuracy up to 1 arc minute
  • Stepper motors with 1.8° step angle and 64 micro steps driven
  • Slewing speed up to 3.4°/sec (800X)
  • SkyScan, precision computerized GOTO system
  • Automatic slewing to over 13,400 objects
  • Auto-guider interface for astro-photography
So can someone confirm these figures as my dob is about 20 Klg's.
