Hi Brent,

I did some research yesterday since reading your post and spoke with Bintel. For my 10" dob, the lightest little tube that would suit it would be an Orion Shorty 80mm refractor ($279) recommended by the man at Bintel. But even that sits at 2kg apparently - and it's supposed to be the lightest.
Nope, my dob wouldn't handle that, I'd be playing see-saw games the whole night. Oh well, never mind. I just really would have preferred to be able multi task as you are doing. With your EQ6 mount whoa you won't have any problems for sure.

Really looking forward to seeing some pics from you when it's all set up.
