Could Nexstar 127 SLT be called portable?.

[nowayjose256]

Just about to pull the trigger on this as I'm looking for a second scope that I can carry around easily in the car and doesn't take up the whole back seat like my 200P.

Just like to ask if this is indeed a portable set up and if possible get some ideas as to what to carry it around in.

Thanks again.

Cheers.

Depends on the size of your car

The OTA isnt large or heavy, and I find the mount wraps up nicely in a quilt and slots in the triangle behind the back seat.

Just remember that it requires a power source, as it is motorised only.

Very portable. I have a skywatcher 127 mak (same scope, different name) and transport it by foot to my local astronomy club. Dunkster is right, it needs a power source, although I've used the battery pack for 5-6 hours or more without them running down.
