    Giro mini on a Meade giant tripod can duel mount a 120 frac and an Orion 8 inch reflector (but not a skywatcher way to heavy) at the same time very solid picture of mount with both scopes attached total weight 13 kg I have observed with this set op and it works fine even at 5 kg over max load of 8 kg.

    The way I see it is this if you observe when you want to and not because you feel you have to you. / I will enjoy the observing that you do more as you have a more relaxed frame of mind observing when you want to and. Not through some obligation as you may have other priorities
