Hi
Does anybody know the OTA on Meade LX3 2080 weight without fork? I would like to know because I am going to buy a celestron nexstar 8 SE goto mount.

I wouldn't suggest the SE mount for the Meade SCT.
They run heavier than the Celestron telescopes due to larger mirrors.
Generally the 8" Meade is about 2.5lbs heavier than the C8.

What is the size of the scope? I have an old 8inch LX6 and it weighs about 6kg without the finderscope, diagonal or eyepiece.
