and more. great scope, bit heavy but great

Very nice pictures!!

The scope is heavy, but I transport it as a complete unit utilising a sack trolley. To make this even easier, (yes honey, in case you are watching, after I finish painting the house ) I want to build a small 1m by 1m insulated "storage shed" alongside the observatory and have the dob on a trolley structure so that I can wheel it out on to the lawn. Might even make it tall so that I do not even have to collapse it - however not sure how stable this will be for pulling it around?

Cheers,

Daniel
