It will support it but whether it would be suitable for imaging is another question. If you are thinking of imaging then maybe have a look at these
http://meade.com/catalog/lxd75/index.html Particularly the 10" f/4 Schmidt Newtonian. I think (but don't quote me on this 'cos it was dark) that Itchy uses one of these????? Maybe drop him a pm and see what he thinks. Anyway you're looking in the price range of @4200-$2800 8"-10" Not saying they are ideal but maybe it is a start.
