LX90 and 80ED Apo

Will a Meade LX90 8 inch on the fork mount support an Orion 80ED apo piggy backed for astrophotography?

Thank you,

I dont know the specific capacity but i think the lx90 itself weights about 60lbs. so i doubt it. For any astrophotography your gonna need a wedge if you dont have it yet. Most would recomend a german equitorial mount for any kind of long exposier tracking photography. I have a ASCG-5 and im pushin it to its limit with a C8 with a 80ED ridin' up top. As far as the fork mount goes though Id think that an extra 15lbs. or so might be a bit much., but just my pinion.
