    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. :)

    Thinking buying the Helios 28x110 Apollo Binoculars, have the Helios 15x70s already but if anyone has the 28x110 I would appreciate any comments and opinions on what to expect.

    Managed to see quite a few deep sky objects tonight with my Helios Apollo 15X70MM Binoculars and NEW Orion BinoMount, Pleaides, Orion Nebula, Double Cluster and Hyades all looked awesome and loving my new set up!!!

    When are we likely to see comet Ison with the naked eye or binoculars!! :)

    Hope for clear skies so I can use my new set up of Helios 15x70 Apollo Binoculars with my new Orion Paragon-Plus BinoMount Parellogram Mount.

    Trying to decide whether to buy the Helios Apollo 15x70mm or the Helios 25x100 Binoculars!
