Hi, I have an older green Vixen GP with dual axis drives and Lumicon DSCs installed. Can anyone give me an estimate on the weight limits of this mount? Been using with a Synta 120 8.5 and a AR102 without issues. I'm mostly a reflector guy and I'm contemplating an 8" f8 mirror in an ultralight truss to try on the GP. I have a 15" Dob that I love but would like some tracking.

Well, if it's this model: "it is rated to carry telescopes to 4 inch refractor, 8 inch SCT or 6 inch Newtonian size."Originally Posted by Pete YeomansHi, I have an older green Vixen GP with dual axis drives and Lumicon DSCs installed.
