Scope, tripod and all extras fit in the hatchback of a Hyundai. Goto and tracking are very accurate. Beautiful views on DSOs due to light gathering ability of the 10" mirror. I can use lower end eyepieces at f/10. Naglers are nice but not necessary! Unlike the 12" and 14" models, the tube swings down through the forks making it more stable when carrying or mounting. Minor issues: Narrow field of view requires a focal reducer or pan and scan with the hand controller to track large objects like the Veil Nebula. Dislikes: If the tripod legs are not positioned well this scope can be a bear to mount. As the fork mount weighs 62 pounds, you want it to go the first time. -------------------- Queen of GOTO Life is short.... get a massage!
