CG-5GT

[Herakles]

Any one care to tell what kinda weight the CG-5GT can handle ? Want to know if it can handle another scope along with a C80ED and a Canon 450D .

Thanks

It will take another scope no worries at all. Another 3-4" refractor or a 6" f4-5 newt shouldn't be a problem.

Just a tip.. grab an extra counter weight if you are going to be running more than 1 scope on it.

It only comes with one and even with just a C6 and a ZS66 mine needed more weight

cheers for the heads up Ian , appreciated

yep Ian is right. If you only have one weight you'll need a second. I needed the 5kg weight plus an additional 3kg Vixen weight to balance out the Celestron C6 and Orion ED80.
