Russell,
thanks very much. At present I am considering building some sort of trolley to move the assembled scope around with. Biggest problem with that is I don't have much in the way of hard stand/concrete pads in my back yard to set it up on for overnight use. I must say I am starting to lean towards setting up a permanent observatory of some design to house it permanently.
