Re: [APML] Astro Imaging mount capacity

is that a newtonian or an SCT? I ask because the newts are rather long and
that can increase the load on the decl axis as well as the overall
vulnerability to wind load.

Most likely you are fine with the G11. You should look into getting the
improved worm gears if you have not already.
