With the recent weather/fires/haze I decided to build myself another Grab & Go outfit for those elusive times when the sky clears as my other scopes/mounts are rather bulky and time consuming to deploy:
The components:
Takahashi FOA60Q 60mm F15 Apochromat
Skywatcher AZ-GTi Alt-Azimuth Mount
Really Right Stuff Tripod
Manfrotto Hexagonal Tripod Clamp
Baader 2" Dielectric Clicklock Diagonal
Vixen RDF on V/Tak Quick Release
Synscan V Handset
Lynx RJ45/RJ12 Coiled cable
TalentCell 3000mA Lithium PowerPack
With this setup in one hand and my observing chair in the other and a couple of eyepieces in my pockets I can be gone in 60 seconds.....
