Hi  I was wondering if anyone has had any experience using the Fornax light track 2. I’m reading on Astro forums that I shouldn’t expect to shoot any longer than 300 maybe 400 mm even when using the extortionate counter balance kit!
ideally I would like to get up to about 700mm, this is my ideal set up:  Zwo cooled apsc camera, Williams Optics Gt81 1V 
The Fornax LT advertising suggests that 500mm is the limit unbalanced and up to a 1000mm balanced but that’s not what I’m reading on user forums.  Can anyone help me with this please?
