120mm Refactor on goto mount?

[steve_bham]

Just a quick question, can the skywatcher 120mm ST refactor be mounted on the skywatcher AZ goto mount (one used for the 127 mak)

Thanks

Anyone tried it?

The rating for the AZ synscan goto is 5 kg max, the ST120 OTA weighs in at 3.9 kg. With diagonal and EP this is getting close to the limit, but with light EPs you may get away with it. Teleskop Service recommend the ST102 as maximum (weight is not the only consideration, the torque involved with longer tubes is an issue as well).
