5Kgs is the suggested upper limit.
So Refractors up to 100mm (not all 100mm are light enough esp if you put cameras etc on them) Tube rings add a fair bit of weight and I wonder if their are Carbon Fibre ones available.
U can reduce weight by using a red-dot finder if you are not looking for deep-sky objects that are way down the mag scale.
The Skywatcher type 127 MakCass the Vixen 114 modified MakCass etc. will work on this.
What I want to find is a review of one that has been used for over a year consistently to find out how well the drive is tracking, esp if the load is in the upper limit for the mount.
I would like one but want to see a reliable report on them as a used item.
Karl what is the package dimensions and weight so I can see what freight costs might be involved.
Cheers - Trevor
