It might break your budget but it will certainly handle that scope.

If money is not an issue as the OP says, then definitely the best bet would be an AP900GTO on a Rob Miller Tri36M. Chris Go uses this combo (AP900GTO + C14) on a permanent pier for all his Jupiter imaging. Post Extras:       wz2 Most Boring Astronomer...

Yes, could be a good alternative.

It's been around for a long time and it's a proven performer.
