I have a prospective buyer for my G11G w/ LW tripod.? They know that the tripod will have to be upgraded to the heavy-duty tripod.? They plan to do DSO and planetary imaging with a 12” Meade SCT. ?Likely with and without a 0.63x FR/FF.? The F.L. of the scope at f/10 is 3048mm and at f/6.3 is 1,920mm.? They estimate the total weight of the imaging setup to be 50 pounds.
?
My questions are…?
- Is 50 pounds pushing to limits of the G11G w/ Heavy Duty Tripod for imaging?
- Is a F.L. of 3,048 or 1,920 pushing the limits of the G11G w/ Heavy Duty Tripod for imaging?
- Would they be better off with a G11T?
Its my understanding they have no experience with Losmandy mounts.
