I can only concur with Daniels comments regarding the 12 Skywatcher goto. Fantastic bit of kit. So easy to collimate and setup.
I take mine apart to move as its just too heavy with the tube and the base.
I move mine about 20 meters from a room to my viewing area.
Total time for disassembly to reassembly and collimate is 10 mins.
Around half an hour to cool, longer if you want to get the best views.
5 mins max to align and you are good to go for the night.
My ground is not particularly level, so i have purchased a bubble level that i have attached to the front of the base $8 and a set of builders wedges $10 from Bunnings to level her up.
Cost me $2000 from Andrews and was definately my best purchase this year.
I see that the price at Andrews has increased by $200 now, but i would still buy.
Daniel is right though, the motors are noisy.
