Interesting feedback. Is your experience with the collapsible or fixed 10" dob? I've been hoping that the former would be simple to pack into the Forrester if I pack other stuff around the telescope rather than dismantle. That said, it's fair to say that even with one child we do seem the list of things that need to be taken seems quite long.
