Ok, so with the CG5-GT, the Orion 102 premium and my c-5. Set up on a saddle for side by side operation. The weight of the scopes are 14lbs the Starshoot color and autoguider 1.5lbs. Rings, plates, dew heaters ect. We are looking at close to 20lbs?? The CG5-GT is rated at 30lbs. I will assume that is for visual and from what I’ve read it would be half that for long exposure astro imaging or 15lbs. On a pier maybe it would handle 20lbs. Have I got this right?
