Hi John

The AP graph (Arun referenced earlier) is a good illustration and fairly accurate for Losmandy as well, just substitute the weight capacity of the G11 for the Mach2.

here it is, hopefully Roland won't mind i borrowed it for posting here ;)

Brian,

While you're looking into more details, can you also include piggybacked devices as they effect a greater moment than devices on the saddle.? For example, a hefty guide scope piggybacked on a fat SCT.

I use a side-by-side plate to avoid this.? Also allows me to balance the load better as.

That's pretty much it. Losmandy specs for max payload is for the Telescope side of the mount, so it does not include the counterweight side or the counterweights.

Yes the tube length can play a role, but we don't really customers putting 20" tubes on the G11

I will see if we have more details
