I don't need that sort of exercise.

Is there anyone else besides me who can lift a 12" LX200 GPS 2 metres off the ground and place it on a wedge with one hand.

No! Its true. I once had a one armed man ask how he could mount a 8" SCT so I tested my method. I can do it completely with one arm. Of course I use my jib crane that plumbs the mount. I can fasten the cradle, undo and do up the bolts, work the winch and either lift the scope off or on the wedge using only one arm!

Exercise is over rated a recent T shirt I read on a guy said

"Eat Well
Stay Fat
Die anyway"

when I was growing up obesity was never an issue we never had

HD TV
Computers
video games
ipods
mobile phones
McDonalds
parents that drove us everywhere

what we had were legs and imagination

Yes I thought of mike but he did need two hands.

Baz

[astroron (Ron)]

Baz,please enlighten me how heavy is an LX200 12"?
Looking at what Mike was lifting, I don't think he would have to much trouble with the 12"0TA

[leon]

I had one once and they are bloody heavy, I think from memory, which is a bit short at times it was about 60 -70 kg's.
