Here is the OTA temporarily placed on one of my other scope mounts. My son is standing next to it for scale. Notice that the altitude bearing is located high up on the tube. The weight of the eyepiece and coma corrector on a short tube make vertically balancing the tube much more important than on a more conventional sized dob. This also means a normal dob mount won’t allow access to the zenith as you can see when the scope is fully elevated.
