Anyone got info on weight limitations Ioptron HAE 43

[Chrb1985]

As some of you know i have purchased a Celestron C14 and it currently weighs in at 23.3kgs with all my equipment on it. I have tested it on the ioptron HAE 43, i balanced it 95% accurately and its snowing fine all over on 8/9 slew speeds. At 9/9 the fastest setting it struggles or stops when it is horizontal and over 90° west. If that made any sense. So i. Guessing it works ok as is now for normal use/guiding.

Do anyone here know how much over the 20kg limit i can go with this mount?

Thanks in advance guys!

Do you have the counterweight for that mount? It’s a 25kg payload limit with that so you’d be fine.
