Hi all,

Does anyone know how heavy an OTA this mount can happily handle? By that I mean for guided DSO imaging. Just curious.....

Thanks!!

Paul,

The EM-200 is rated to carry 35 lbs for imaging. My EM-200 Temma2 has no problem handling my FS-152 or my M-250 both with imaging equipment. They are very solid and stable on the EM-200 except in windy conditions.

It will handle 35 lbs at rated accuracy.
