The G-11 is portable. When I first got mine it looked daunting but once I got it setup it was fairly easy and painless. Though as yet i have no scope on it. My friends apoman and Kal have gone up twice to Kulnura, both times taking apoman's G-11 with his 5' ap refractor it took us 10-20mins to set up. If you dont count the time spent polar aligning but that is there with any EQ mount. You also might get a bargain if you import a used one, I have seen some good deals on Amart. And as happened with me you can also get a bargain right here on IIS.
