  The main collective farm telescopes are now all gathered together in one setup on a single SW Neq6Pro mount. There are five of them: a Newtonian 250/F4.7, an APO120/F5.6, an ED70/F4.8, a Samyang 135/F2, and a 60x240 guide scope. The total weight of the telescopes is 30 kg, plus 22 kg of counterweights. It's a lot. But the mount handles it. This single setup covers the entire range of focal lengths from 1200mm (3600 with a 3x extender) down to 135mm, and a set of fields from 10 degrees diagonally to 40 arcminutes.
