HOW I FIXED MY HEAVY 12" DOB TO MOVE IT EASIER
It was TOOOOOO heavy for me to move my 12 inch dob around, I came up with the idea of putting handles and wheels on it! Works great so I have to share how I pumped up the functionality of the scope.
It makes an echo noise in the tube, I always get asked if the wheel was being squished, or for a better word, flattened. The noise happens because it is echoing in the tube.
I want to thank you for sharing. Especially how you mentioned getting a guy who knows how to drill into a telescope tube. And the fact of going to an astronomy club for help.
I have too say I REALLY REALLY am impressed with your telescope knowledge!
