Thanks for letting me know. I have no idea how comfortable I will be with my dob on a trolley (yeah, I bought the trolley for the eclipse) and how far I can go (it would be the first time I really go out with it!), but thanks for letting me know. I am sure it will have to be collimated when I finally stop, but it should be fine. I have learned to collimate it pretty quick.
If it is cloudy I might still go out (in case it gets better - at least for a few minutes!), but if it is raining I think it is pointless, particularly with my dob on a trolley.
I will have everything ready though in case the rain stops.
