WD-17 with C8 Edge

Is this a workable combination? My goal is planetary imaging, so periodic error isn’t a problem. I just want to know if the mount can carry the scope (without CWs).

Hi,

WD-17 can handle C8 without problem, as quite a lot of our users using C8 and even C925 with WD-17, just ensure a stable tripod been used.

Refer to attached photo a C8HD carried by WD-17 for DSO photography.

To use CW or not, it depends on your tripod. Though WD-17 can power the load torque of C8 without problem, but to balance the stability of tripod to avoid risks, a CW could still be required, unless your mount fixed to a very stable pillar.
