It's a little on the small side, but with a couple of mods it could work.Takahashi EM-3500 Temma-2 400x Observatory GOTO Mount

At $82,170 it better hold a 12" or I'd ask for a refund! LOL!

What a beauty!

I can imagine how much just one of the weights would cost..

would you mind picking one up for me while your at it. I've got dibs on the hubble when they bring it down and that mount looks like it might fit a treat

It looks like there's only a 12" or possibly smaller on it too.
