RE: [APML] Astro Imaging mount capacity

IMO that is really pushing the limits of this mount.  You
would be much happier with something like the MI250,
AP900, or NJP.  But all of these are quite a step up
in money.  If you can't afford a new one then browse
Astromart for a used one.

Due to the somewhat short FL of the Newt it _may_
work, most of the time, but you will likely have
an unacceptable percentage of ruined images.
