Last night was the first real chance I have had to test the scope while on its new rolling base. With the Moon one day past full, I mainly concentrated on splitting stars and looking the the planets. The locking castors do the job and I am happy to report that there are no vibration issues when setup on a concrete drive.

A 16" Dob must be a tight squeeze through a standard door. In a perfect world all big dobs would be supplied with castors.
