Here is the place to talk about all those equipment(Telescope, Mounts, Eyepieces, etc...) you have. Not sure which scope/eyepiece is best for you? Trash it out here!

Hi,
Nice big-aperture-yet-portable setup.
Yes... portable, but heavy... luckily, most of the time my poor trolley was the one carrying it... :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

Anyway, it was not vehicle friendly... the tube is too long and take up too much space in the car boot... so unlikely to bring it to Mersing dark sky (manage to bring it to Mersing once, but only see lightning and clouds :( :( )... that's why I'm very tempted to change to a F4 version, so that I can return to one scope policy... :)

Have a nice day.
