I just finished up a 16" dob to replace an older heavier one I had been using. This one tips the scales at 123 pounds using a 2" thick mirror. Still sounds heavy till you compare it to the 170 pound original. I love the view through larger scopes, but this is about all my back will pack!

Very nice looking scope David. smile The 47# weight loss should be significant.
