Do you think it would support a Photon instruments 5" refractor?

I just bought a Celestron Advanced GO-TO mount, which means I will be getting 
rid of my SkyView Pro, which I have used with my Pronto and TV101 refractors.  
I want to sell this locally, and preferably to a SAC or EVAC member, so I'll 
sell it for $100 before putting it on Craigslist and Astromart.

The mount has a tripod, counterweight, dual-axis control and working motors, 
but the declination connector has snapped off, and it will need a new 
phone-style jack.  There are a couple other, lesser issues, but it tracks fine, 
and supports small scopes.  You would need a VIxen-style dovetail plate to 
connect your scope to the mount.
