Weight Question For The HEQ5

[Greg]

I've set up the HEQ5 with the 8" Skywatcher and ED80 Pro.

The question is it's using 3 counter weights to get it to just about balance (Without EP's or camera!!)

Is it going to take it !!

Bear in mind Greg that a driven scope should not be 'perfectly' balanced.

Motors work best when they have a little resistance to work against.

Greg i understand the weight capacity is around 30 pounds I've heard.
