Why do people laugh at my grab n go kit?

[MLyons]

I suppose technically it's "hitch n go" but still, they're rude :)

[MjrTom]

Laugh.... More like in awe!

Hi MLyons,

You're the great guy who posts excellent live views from your 'scope on NSN, aren't you?

Great to see you here, mate.

No laughing here...just awe.

[northernnutter]

'Kit 'n a half !!!!'

Truly awesome. Just laugh right back at them.

Wow that looks fabulous - You have a lot of aperture. Mind I bet you get a lot more clear skies than we do in the cloudy UK!

Just out of interest what is the rules list seen in the last photo? Its too small of an image to read it

Q. Why do people laugh at my grab n go kit?

A. To distract you whilst they hide their puny scopes

[Revs]

Very nice GaG set up

I bet you've got the setting up down to a fine art. How long does it take ya?

[spaceboy]

Very nice MLyons! If your going to grab and go there's no better way to do it!

I was looking to get a wind break to keep my dob from being blown off course but I do like the look of that mobile observatory. More info please!!!

Nice kit Sir! The laughter is of the jealouse kind - ignore it. They have weedy 4" scopes for their Grab n' go set up.

Wow, that is certainly a kit to aspire to!

[SuperMassive]

If that's your 'Grab n Go' kit, how big is your 'main' scope....?!

May I formally welcome you to SGL and yes your 'grab' and 'go' looks very impressive. From your photos you look to have some very good skies and of course the delights of the Southern Hemisphere.

This particular event was a star party where I anticipated the usual crowd with those silly headlights that blind you even though they're red and also where families would walk from scope to scope trailing kids with untrained greasy paws.

The top sign says "Visitors Welcome"

There are 4 rules:

1. Switch off ALL lights

2. Introduce yourself

3. Ask BEFORE you touch.

4. No smoking

Eminently sensible approach

Great set up!
