Some of the best telescope buying advice I was ever given was to only buy a scope as big as you can carry/setup by yourself. It's hard to find time in one's schedule to take a scope somewhere, but it can be next to impossible to align schedules with another person. At least for a scope meant to take somewhere. Most people don't have a permanent setup though, so it's a pretty decent thing to consider.
The weight is only part of the equation, but also consider if it takes more than two hands to assemble.
- big_Brain69 8mo agoDefinitely agreed. So we realised this later, we were initially of the opinion to operate it from our lab but later did we get the idea to have bag straps to atleast make it a little bit more portable. Right now, we have been able to carry the entire setup individually, definitely a cumbersome task but people around us have been helpful. But as you rightly said to buy a scope as big as you can carry by yourself, this is something we would work on it in the near future.
