Grab and Go Astronomy

The idea is thst you can pick up and carry your telescope and mount outside in one operation.  This means,  especially as you age, a pretty light combination of telescope and mount.

I have not had time and climate to verify that the drive was doing an adequate job of tracking.  The answer is yes.

Theoretically,  I could have carried the whole assembly out as one piece but the Televue-85 is a very expensive piece of glass.  So I took the mount out separate and attached thr scope.  It is not as free from vibration from thr ground as a more solid mount and tripod would do.

The temptation is to make ScopeRollers for it, but a Vixen SP mount would be more stable..
