Well if I had to set up all your gear Dave I'd still be here setting up now in the rain.
Tell you what I'll do you a favour, let's just swap setups. I'm sure you'd like to upgrade from the big heavy EQ8 to the light nimble EQ6 right?
Seriously though do you have a little roll off roof setup at home? I am only just managing with the EQ6, and I've done my back in once already. I have no idea how you even move that EQ8 around let alone a telescope twice the size of mine.
