I believe Mel, Alan and Chris Cox all have (or will have) +24" SDM scopes to lug about, which as mentioned require their own traveling circus. I believe a few of us on IIS have the 20" Skywatcher Stargate scopes. My wife got tired of me having mine in pieces stashed around the house, so I bought a 6' x 4' trailer to keep it in (disassembled), along with folding tables, chairs, and other knick-knacks required when traveling to dark sites. It can be done with one person, but you need to have a reasonable degree of upper body strength and a sound back, both of which I can imagine will start to desert me as I approach my golden years.
