RASA 36 on an under 18-kg mount

Hi all,

For those who have not seen it yet, I was quite impressed to see a 75-pound scope riding rather swiftly on a 39-pound mount. Rolando wrote on yahoo group that the mount did exceedingly well with a 180mm f/9 refractor for imaging, reporting a well under 0.2rms for a few hour session.

Could it be an ultimate portable mount capable for catering for pretty much all possible amateur telescopes that can be handled in a field by one person?
