TRANSPORTING 16" GSO & Lightbridge Dob
I've pretty much read all there is on these two scopes. What I am not sure about is the comparison on portability with regards to those whom claim they can fit a 16” Lightbridge into a sporty coupe and no comments on the portability of the GSO except better mechanics.
Most people seem to indicate that they never move their 16” GSO and those that do, never seem to indicate how and what transport thier using.
If I ever made the move to a 16” scope I would rather choose portability over mechanics and address the latter afterwards. Would it be easier to adapt the rocker box of the GSO. Does the GSO dismantle completely and as easily as the Lightbridge or is it meant to simply slide like the skywatchers seem to imply?
I think I saw someone post a mod on the rocker box where they somehow made it foldable to get it in their boot.
Any thoughts as to which one of these scopes rates better for portability regardless of mechanics?
Thanks.
