EQ-13 Mount’s Load Capacity
The Orion EQ-13 Equatorial Mount has a load capacity of
13 lbs. That means it can typically support a telescope tube
and its accessories weighing up to 13 lbs. The amount of
weight the mount can stably support will depend somewhat
on the type of telescope, however. For instance, compact tele-
scopes such as Maksutov-Cassegrains have short tubes with-
out much “lever arm,” so they are quite stable on the mount.
Longer telescopes, such as some refractors and Newtonian
reectors have more of a lever arm and thus may wiggle or
vibrate for longer when touched.
