Back in 2002 I pressed my LX200 12" GPS OTA+forks overhead to arms length 8 times in a row just for fun ...it felt harder than expected not only because it was an awkward large shape with poor hand holds but also because I had to do it slowly for fear of dropping what was then a $10 000 scope!

So given this setup is worth $80K it would be dam hard to carry around I recon ...just out of shear nerves of dropping anything
