I’ve had my Skywatcher 12” Goto dob for over 2 years now and I’m 60 years old 68kg wringing wet , plus back trouble since 22 yrs old from a work accident and have no trouble moving it from the garage to my observing location 8 metres away using my Bunnings parcel trolley , admittedly on a concrete driveway. It’s definitely not a remote scope but quite manageable at home. Goto is excellent , spot on every time after a 2 star alignment. Prior to that I had a solid tube 10” dob so nudge nudge all night , gave me the willy’s after a year trying to find objects star hopping, later on I even calibrated the base with azimuth markings and used a digital inclinometer to find objects quicker. You never look back once you use the Goto
Cheers
