Big Cat on a CG-5?

What is the biggest SCT that would work on a CG-5 ASGT and still be able to do astrophotography? I would like to eventually up-size from my C8 to an 11" and need to know if I need a new mount also or just the OTA. I know that Celestron sales an 11" with the CG-5 but will it work with the extra weight of camera and or other accessories?
thanx robin

My experience is the c8 is the biggest. I have tried a c9.25 on a newer cg5 with the 2" legs, NG, no good.
And that was for visual, so forget photos.
You need to move into Atlas territory.
I also tried a GM8 with a c9.25, that was passable.

Some people have had good imaging results with the C11 on this mount, but it is certainly not to be recommended. In practical terms, a C8 is the max. If you are mainly focused on imaging, a C11 really doesn't gain you much more than more image scale, which, unless you are after small galaxies, etc., ain't always a good thing.
