I believe that's an Orion ED80 on the pic. 600m FL or there about. In my experience anything over 200mm FL providing you nail focus will need guiding both in RA & DEC. And I did a lot of experimentation with various lenses. I see the polarie as a very light weight unit with a sinple ball joint and a DSLR for widefield. That's its strength and that's what it was designed for. Mods to max out the load are not really useful. Anything heavier or longer FL requires a small mount at the minimum. I'll be interested to see the pics coming out of the rig when loaded up though but I suspect you'd get trailing.
