Hi Kathryn, I pack mine in the car and travel 200k to a dark sky site, most times my collmination stays put, once you have learned how to collminate it only takes a minute or two to redo.
The best thing about owning a scope is the spending is just beginning, so for a women who likes shopping your in the right hobby :-))
remember these names Pentax XW , Nagler, whisper them to hubby as he sleeps they will enter his subconscious mind and next birthday one might turn up :-))
I live at Fairfield so any time you and hubby want to pop around for a coffee ( my yougest son makes great coffee I trained him well)
bring your scope and we can run you through the basics of collmination and setting up your scope, and using the drives.
My sky is not the best I,m too close to the city but I find trying to teach yourself can be frustrating at best.
anyway your'e welcome anytime,PM me if your'e interested and we can organise something.
cheers
David.
