Hi Roger

the scope is pending sale but the payload that I had on the a 102 Refractor, a 5DMKII+battery grip and two batteries and WO P flat 4 flattner/recuder as well as a ST 80 guide scope and Meade dsi side by side for guiding.

I have however imaged quite succsefully with the same set up but with an 8" GSO Newt F5 in place of the 102. This was taking the mount to the limit. It should take the weight of the C8, however not really sure what focal length your scope is and what factor that may play.

Thanks
