let me see your grab and go set up

[kerrylewis]

Ok Laurie I thought it must be something solar! The phone as a finder is a great idea. Might try that myself

This is my most portable setup. It's a Vixen ED102SS F/6.5 refractor on an AZ-4 mount, here pictured in white light solar viewing mode. I've owned a few scopes with smaller apertures but I find 102mm / 4" is where the views start to get interesting rather than just nice.

TV NP-101 on a DiscMount with starbeam and sky commander xp-4> total weight approx. 30 lbs takes a few minutes to set up or just walk it outside.

No photos, but SkyTee2 and SW 180Mak works for me for solar system stuff.

My only scope soon to be on an az4, makes a great grab and go, being in a flat it was the most convenient choice next on the list is a 80ED

[Russko13]

Hmmm I can't post pics clearly

[quaoar]

I've set myself up so that I can just push this out the door and I'm ready to go in about 5 minutes.

Here is mine

For a short while, I dealt with that as grab and go...turns out it was too heavy

[ChrisLX200]

Has to be this I guess, quick to set up but maybe the Genesis SDF is tad heavy for a grab and go.  My recently aquired SW 80 APO Pro would probably replace it if I can mount it nicely.

That even makes a telrad and  2 inch focuser look so small and insignificant on a scope.  The only two grab and go items on it.

I will admit that I have a fortunate set of circumstances ( and an addiction to big Dobs ).

Looks like a shed load of dobs you have there?

Sorry I'll get my coat.

[scarp15]

And here is mine, though currently up for sale (or maybe not  ).

[laservet]

I have several grab and go setups, this is the lightest. I can literally pick up the entire setup with my little finger. Wouldn't carry it that way.   It's a 90 mm f5 refractor on a TeleVue Telepod on a Gitzo 3 series carbon fiber tripod.

[cutepetgroomer]

This is my what is called grab and go it has a table Top tripod. 70mm aperture and 300mm focal length .

 Nice! That's an Astro-physics Stowaway?  Possibly the rarest 'non-zeiss' refractor on the planet?

Yes. It's a great little scope. Here it is ready to observe:
