It would be nice to have a permanent setup but I can live with it for now. It's not too much trouble to toss everything in the car and drive out into the country for a night or two each new moon. At home I leave the tripod and mount set up and throw a cover over it.

Some of the 16803 cameras plus filter wheel weigh a total of a few Kgs. You should be OK with the STF-8300.

Cheers,
