Hi Tim, great scope

I have an Obsession clone 16" f 4.5 mirror, which as I grow a little longer in the teeth is getting heavier

Is that design compatible with said mirror

I have not long ago did a trip to Perth and back with the 16" in the car, it took up a lot of room and was heavy to move about.
I hope to do a trip to Northern Australia next year and a lighter scope would be a God Send

Cheers
