    Thinking of getting Skywatcher Skymax 180, Got the Skywatcher 127mm Skymax Maksutov but thinking about how much more better the 180mm would be for the moon and planets than what I already have. :)

      The skymax 180 is 7.8kg, your mount is rated to 7kg. Not sure what the margin for error is but I don't think I would risk if. You *may* get away with it for visual although I suspect that vibrations will be a bit of a nightmare when focusing or it's windy. I think imaging would be very difficult.

      Looks like the skymax 150 is 5.6kg, just for your info :)

      Thanks, Probably wouldn't go for the Skymax 150 as it's only an inch bigger to what I have but the 180mm is appealing but if all else fails I can always buy another mount if I have too though. :)
