Re: CDK 14 on a Mach 2? #Mach2GTO

Over-mounting reasons are obvious. I have typically run my Tak FSQ with 16803 camera, filter wheel, atlas focuser, guidescope on my AP 1200. Not over-mounted by any means. I can also carry my 155 edf and RHA 305 on the 1200 with no problem. NO JELLO vibrations and damping time is zero. A 1600 and Planewave 12.5 would be a great combination, and will support your 14 when you decide to upgrade. In fact, the 1600 could probably carry the Planewave 17.5" as well and many do.
Over-mounting allows you flexibility like that.
But don't take my word for it. Do a little research as to what the top imagers use. -j

On the other hand why would I 'over mount' a scope and have capacity I will never use? I was already planning to go with a CDK 12.5 rather than the 14, so the question was a theoretical one.
