That’s if it can carry the OTA plus all the other gear needed for Astrophotography..........
The more I think about it the more I like the idea of going to a Dob. ........ I am really surprised at today’s outcome, really glad I got to see the mounts/scopes and tested them out as I did not expect to be walking out of there with this complete back flip on everything. ........

Or you could get one of these:
OTA 5.5kg
mount 8.8kg
tripod 5.5kg
c/weight 5.6kg
canon 50d 1kg
Total about 26Kg + eyepieces
