The 120mm Refractor is quite easy and quick to set up and requires no collomation. It is great with double stars and nebulae (due to it's high contrast). I hope my experience gives you food for thought.

Hi Mickoking,
Your 120mm Skywatcher. Are you happy with it? Are you able to carry it as a complete assembly?? The website mentions an overall weight of 18kg. Does this seem about right. This is the scope I have been thinking about (especially with the stainless steel tripod).
