I'm to blame for the weather in the NE. I just got a new SVX130t... sorry

Got one of those in the summer.  Fabulous telescopes.  Definitely heft to them as mine dressed out with an OSC, filter wheel and guide scope comes in at 34 lbs.  Enjoy Vic's craftsmanship.

I ordered mine with the MoonLite 3.5" Nightcrawler, haven't weighed it yet but it's pretty heavy with all accessories. It'll be riding on my Mach2 so there shouldn't be an issue.

The gods punished me last night it was completely clear last night went to put scope on mount and polar aligned , everything looked wide and focused and then the winds went insane.  Gust up to 45mph.  Took scope inside and tightly wrapped 360 cover on mount.  Next morning mount is toppled on tripod/extension tube/heq5 mount.  Bent the alignment pin , dremeled the bent brass, fit it into groove and found a longer bolt to replace bent one.  Fixed,  glad I brought scope in.  Near disaster

Holy crap! That sucks! We're supposed to getting those winds here tonight.

I have 3 telescopes but only 2 mounts.

so……I decided to get another mount.  smile

settled on an AZ/EQ6-R Pro to use with my Takahashi FSQ-106N.

I think it should be good enough.
