Default EQ3 mount and 8 inch reflector?

Ok, thanks for the info... I think it's too heavy probably. Just thoughtr I
would ask...

I think I already know the answer to this... But, an Orion EQ3 can't

support
an 8 inch reflector, can it?

The reflector is supposedly 16 pounds (without the finder and attachment
rings)...



Sure it can! The EQ3 will support the 8'' most of the night, if there is

no
wind and if you don't try to use it. If you want to use it, get something
like an older CI700 for about $1K.
