Even though some of the stuff above sounds complicated, it isn't.
Dobs are the easiest telescopes to set-up and use.
Put the base down (facing any direction, and on any angle), and put the scope on top. Thats it!
The carrying and not banging into things is a normal precaution you'd take with any special item, so it will come naturally. Collimation will become easy and natural so don't stress about that either.
That's the wonderful things about Dobs, just plop the base down, put the Scope on it, and your ready to go.
Yes there are other things you will learn as you go: Cool-down time, better bearing action etc. But straight out of the box the Dob is pretty well ready to use.
Sooooo simple
