ive had a 102 f11 and a ed80 on my HEQ5 with no problems I think with cams ect its about 15kg balance is everything, I could get 2min unguided "ed80" without trails so its worth a try. charl.

this is solar set up it weighs a bit more due to the quark. I carnt find a pic of when it was set up for ds.

hi thanks for that what saddle did you use or what would i need thanks iwols

I use a home made H stile config " 3 8inch vix type" where the scopes add to the stability, it works well the saddle is just the one the mount came with. I need 3 5kg counterweight to ballance. charl.

With reference to Dual saddles.  Check the weight of these. 

I own a short Vixen Dual  and a longer Losmandy Dual.  The weight difference is substantial.   In fact the Losmandy  Dual saddle feels heavier than my  100mm Bresser Guide scope.
