[APML] A Bit Overweight?

[Rick Bell <greatorionm42@yahoo.com>]

Hey there gang,

My fiance and I are planning on the purchase of a used
10” LX200 or 11” Ultima for both visual and photo. 
I’m thinking of piggy-backing my 6” Orion Mak-Cass (11
lb. Argonaut 150/Intes MK-67 OTA) for tracking.  My
question is this: will the LX200 or the Ultima, on a
wedge, be able to carry the additional weight of that
6" tube, an ST-4 and a Canon F-1 body adequately? 
Seems like it would be pushing things a bit, to me. 
If so...  any suggestions?

(By the way, it was HER idea to go for the new scope! 
Am I lucky or what???)

Thanks,

Rick Bell
