EQ6 Weight limit

[orion f6.3]

Is the Skywatcher quoted figure of 25KG max payload on the EQ6 just the scope, or do you include the counter weight? Orion

Just the scope.

Just that @ 14kg mine seams to have a judder in DEC wonder if its wear as the backlash is adjusted and only judders with the 10" refrac but at f6.3 is a long old lump to slew in DEC. Seams to track ok only really notices at rate 9 ie. when slewing at rate 6 or 7 not as bad. Orion
