Hi David,

Thanks for your input David, and the tip to put it together. I did mention that I had back problems, so the experience for me is somewhat different. But that no longer matters, as I now have a much more manageable portable setup. The 16", a lovely scope that it is, was just too difficult for me to manage on my own, due to its awkwardness, which is why it is now permanently assembled and on rollers.

Cheers Pete
