Moving device for a 12" Dob

Posted By Damon O'Shea

I've got a 12" Revelation Dob as seen on Home Page www.telescopehouse.co.uk. 99%of time I view in my back Yard and am thinking about a way to move the entire telescope/rocker box assembly from the house to the garden. Telescope tube assembly weighes about 50 lbs and rocker box about 30 lbs.

Thinking about attaching wheelbarrow handles like you would see on an obsession Dob, however not sure if chipboard rocker box could take the stress.

Anybody got any suggestions
