How much money do you have ????? A rule of thumb would be: 8", 10",
12" (same motor setup) 5" AP would seem about max. The 16" can carry
the 7" APO. Losmandy makes several setups for any piggy-back scope or
a machine shop can make a custom set, or a different type of
configuration. Ive seen a couple of awesome alt-adz mount that is ultra
precision and are a lot lighter.
