I'm interested (and jealous) of your seeing conditions - we were at Watt's Bridge Airfield past Esk last night, and anything higher than 50x was like looking through a kiddies wading pool.
I was Jealous of our seeing too. My normal location in Samford is usually very poor. Last night we were at 500x on Jupiter without too much deterioration.

None of the individual components were particularly heavy, so one person could put it together from scratch. Of course its much quicker to leave the base and rocker assembled and only remove the poles and UTA - then it becomes more of a 2 person lift.
