You're in for some beautiful views with the Edge. Saturn will blow you away and it's not too late to grab the Trapezium in Orion . That cluster glows like diamonds.
I'd suggest joining the Cloudy Nights forum. You won't find a more knowledgeable group anywhere. |
Well, compared to the weight of a skywatcher or Advance VX mounts or mounts with counter weights this is a lot lighter. With the OTA I think mine comes in at a total of 40-45lbs which isn't that heavy. So it's easy to just pick up the whole thing and move it around.
Thanks for the tips on what to look at. Assuming we don't have clouds in MI. It may may always be sunny in Philly but it's allways cloudy in MI. lol
I've lurked around Cloudy Nights and found most of my answers but you're right I should join it.
