Ok, so now I'm confusing myself.. can anyone who has an heq5 chime in on how much they can stack on the mount for imaging please? some people are saying don't go over 50% max weight, some say 75%.. some people saying heq5 can do 14kg and others 18kg. even more people saying that they're pushing max weight for imaging, but it's all about being balanced in 3 axis and they're still able to get 20 minute subs guided. I'm still really keen on the ES 127 ED (or generic) and it says it's 9.9kg with all accessories, so throw in my camera (0.3kg) and a T-ring and I'll be below 10.5kg still. 10.5kg is exactly 75% of 14kg. I don't want to invest in a big scope and then find out that I can't use it though. help!
