Too Much Weight???

[ronaldo999]

Can someone advise me if the following is suitable for use on a CG5 mount with goto

C6 XLT OTA

astro engineering 80mm guidescope with rings

using TS dual mount bar

is the weight of the items an issue on this mount? i know i would need good balancing but is the setup viable for imaging?

Any help appreciated

I got reasonable results on the same mount with a C8 SCT and C80-ED frac side by side on a heavy dual mount bar with a Mintron guide camera (quite heavy) and 300d DSLR, but I think it was pushing it and I usually had to chuck away about 10% of the subs. The C6 and lighter frac should be much better, with carefull balancing.
