Re: Maximum weight
You are certainly right not to worry about it for your system. But it is definitely an issue when you go with larger loads or smaller image scales. A simple thought experiment - is it easier to

Re: PEMPro update - enhancements for Losmandy users
Brian, From your screenshot I see that PEMPRO now uses the correct step size. Did you confirm PEMPRO uses the correct step size for all guide rates (i.e. other than 0.5x)? Also, have you redone your

Thank Brian. Yeah I don't do moon or planetary shots often unless something specific happens like an eclipse or occultation but the conditions on that night were too good to pass. I started at sunset

Re: Maximum weight
Correct - angular momentum is I*Omega where I is the moment of inertia. For the simple case of a counterweight on the shaft, angular momentum is M*L^2*Omega where M is the Mass, L is how far it is

Re: Maximum weight
Thanks for the graph. To balance the scope would you use heavier weights closer to the RA axis to minimise moment of inertia or lighter weights further from the RA axis to reduce overall weight on the
