I believe "I've got it" but, there's a catch lighten the load 20-25lbs, I don't trust it to handle what it's been handling. I think it may handle my 80mm ct compact refractor for lunar and planetary with my qhy5-llM . I guess testing is in the near future.

Light at the end of the tunnel! Wait, make sure itโ€™s not a train coming.๐Ÿ˜€

I hope it works out.

Can you use the Black Widow as a visual?

Thanks Brian & Sonny , I did use the BW some times for visual before I got Sgpro to control it. It makes things a lot easier on my neck and back. I'm going to test it with the 80mm refractor , surely it can handle that "fingers crossed".

80 mm is all I have. Total is 13.2 pounds. (With all the trimmings)
I only do AP.
