My 10" Skywatcher flex dob weighed 14.6 kg for the scope, and about the same for the base, so total around 30kg, so an 8" version would probably weigh about 22-25kg; a bit more reasonable than the 35-40 that you
mentioned. What about the little 5" Celestron dob? That would be really
easy to carry around. Obviously it wouldn't have the light grasp of a 6 or
an 8, but a used 5 is better than an unused larger scope.
