My C9.25 is quite manageable. Every night that I set up, I lift it approx 1.5m to slide the dovetail into the mount, but this takes some care to ensure you engage the dovetail correctly. I usually do this naked - that is, no accessories fitted on the OTA to keep the weight to a minimum.

I have fitted a handle to the top of the OTA making it easy to carry out doors each night.

I am 51, 5ft 9¼ ins but I work out in a gym 3 times a week so have above average strength.

Hope that helps.

Dennis
