Hi Marc

Thanks for the comment. I can't remember the exact weight but you can count the number of 18pounder counterweights on the bar....

I seem to remember the frame is about 50# roughly and the primary mirror is about 35#

the camera, filter wheel, guide camera, OAG and secondary mirror plus Robo may be another 15-20# (just guessing)
