Yep, what they said. In my case the mount itself is over 300 pounds and capable of holding 200 pounds worth of equipment. Its a real pain to break it down and set ip up every night you want to use it.

Set up and tear down isn't all the work either. There is polar alignment to perform so the scope can track correctly. This takes time.

So, having everything set up in the observatory cuts about an hours worth of time out. I can just go out there, open it up, turn it on and go.
