Ha ha yeah I did for maaaany years too Col...but never again Only a few years ago I used to pack all this into my car after work, drive 45min out to Kurri Kurri west of Newcastle, set it all up, image all night, pack it all up at dawn and load it back in the car, drive 45min back to Newcastle, unpack it all into my lounge room to dry off...go to sleep for a few hours, get up and pack it all away dry ready for the next night..... did it a few times then started leaving the pedestal (40kg) and NJP mount (25kg) with counterweights (25kg) setup out at Kurri Kurri and just took everything else out each time... did this for two years

I still like driving out to my gear now outside Canberra but it all needs to be setup and ready to go when I get there
