What is the overall weight of the full rig as shown?
Friday could be clear in melb, according to my sources.

Thanks Rod, the overall weight as shown is exactly 11Kg. The OTA alone, without the finder scope and camera/filter wheel, is probably close to 10Kg.

Thanks Rod, I'm off to the Messier star party and if you are attending too, then you will be able to look through it, providing that I can make it work.
Not much to look at though, with the planets so low.

Thanks Jeff, fingers crossed - so to speak, as I'm not superstitious.
