Have helped in the setup of the 12" LX200, TAAA'er George Barber has
one, it is really a two person job to get it onto the tripod. One
strong person could manage, but I wouldn't be comfortable doing it. The
11" Nexstar I use is a one person job, even my wife can get it onto the
tripod.
I hope to be there, arriving an hour or so before sunset Saturday, again
weather permitting, a last look at the visible satellite imagery before
commiting.
