Hi Glen how are youbeen awile since we last spoke good to see you are looking for another Dob Barrys one looks nice and portable A must i think when contemplating using one of these , are you not using the 16" or just want to go larger which means heavier .we have just brought a 16" skywatcher dob what a great scope complete tracking on a dob of this size i had to build a special trailer to transport it and takes 2 to lift and set up the base heaviest part being collapsable helps and holds collamation well the views are brilliant.We have been granted a space at the new digital cube by LMCC under free contract its bright as you can see but the lake side is dark no lights and the DOB is in its element both for public and club viewing ultamatly the choice is up to you just remember getting there and setting up is 80% of the battle take care my friend and if you want come up to lake for some viewing
