By all up - I understand you mean the telescope tube, the pier, the mount, the counter-weights and the guide tube. This makes a bit more sense now - having a 4" telescope alone weight 170 lbs seemed kinda crazy on first read!

Do you have any pictures of it looking down the lens - how well is it baffled?

Being such long focal length, does it lessen the need for a fine focuser (one of the 10: 1 geared reduction jobs)?
