My new 12" collapsible Dob. A little bit heavy, but gives beautiful images.

My little Orion 4.5 inch f/4 imaging Newtonian OTA on a Porta AltAz mount with a Manfrotto photo tripod serves as another lightweight grab-and-go set up for occasional wide field viewing.

Yep.....It sure is. Because the 10" F/4 primary mirror is mounted in the box 'above' the Dec. axis, the 16 pound + bowling ball is used as a splendid counter-weight.

If you are into using a different kind of finder.........Try a homemade 'periscope style' 30mm Off-Set Finder that attaches magnetically to the Dob-Buster's plywood telescope tube just above the horizontal focuser. Easy to align and adjust. Very user-friendly.

My 4.25" f/6 reflector on an altazimuth Springfield mount w/ crutch tripod. This is my solution for an observer who cannot stand very long, bend, twist or lift. It works for me!
