Hi Matt,
That's not necessarily always the case. My 10" and 14" SDM's are left fully assembled in the garage all the time. It takes me less than 3 minutes to wheel a scope outside, set it down, drop the wheelbarrow handles out and connect the power supply. Another minute to fine tune the collimation and I am observing in less than 5 minutes from the time I open the garage roller door. Similarly, it takes me less than 5 minutes to pack the scope away at the end of the night. The biggest chore of the setup and pull down is carrying the eyepiece case in and out of the house.
Cheers
John B
