I just got a partially complete 10" f/3.5 Parks Newtonian ota. I am hoping it will make a good astrograph when used with an Baader MPCC, ST2000XT, and riding upon an EM200...

Your thoughts on this... did I just make a mistake?

Thanks,

Joe

I tried a 10" f4 on my EM200. I found it to be too big for the mount. The length of the tube was hard to keep balanced. I've had a Mewlon 250 and now a C11 and the EM200 handles it but the newt gave it a real hard time.
