Thanks Mike, with the scope are some shims that can be used if you get the primary tube assembly rubbing against the side of the base that can cause jittery movement in the scope as it tracks. My scope seems to have a decent amount of clearance but I'll be keeping an eye on it just in case.
Adrian, the scope completely breaks apart into 4 sections, the primary tube (not overly heavy once you take the counterweights off even with the primary mirror still in), the secondary tube (very light), the trusses (feather weight) and the base which disassembles into a flat pack. The turntable part of the base is probably the heaviest and most unwieldly part of the whole scope mostly because of it's size.
