EQ3 mount and 8 inch reflector?
Subject: EQ3 mount and 8 inch reflector?
From: "GoldfishPanda" Date: 8/21/03 4:02 PM Pacific Daylight Time Message-id: 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)... ******************* You can forget it! Not even a CG-5 will handle a 8" Newt! Orion sells a much lager mount for $799, that would do just fine. Nothing worse than a under mounted scope... Chas P.
