Re: G11G Imaging Weight Capacity for Imaging?

Re: G11G Imaging Weight Capacity for Imaging?

G11G Imaging Weight Capacity for Imaging?
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.
