C9.25 on a GM8

Hi Guys,

Would like to ask if anyone has tried mounting a C9.25 on a Losmandy GM8. I've read in the website that the GM8 is good for up till 8" and thats 12.5lb. But the 9.25" has got a weight of 20lb, its still within the recommended weight of 30lb stated by the Losmandy site. Will the mount be over-taxed? I am looking forward to add Tak Sky 90 II on the tube for photography. Feasible? If not, then I'll probably scrap the C9.25 idea and just ahead getting the Sky 90 itself.

Thanks for any advise.
