New coating on Primary lens.  2 1/2" secondary lens works but could use recoating. The primary lens is about 3" thick (see photo) and weighs about 40 pounds (my guess, very heavy) I have moved to an area that is downtown and there is too much light from the city to use the scope effeciently.  It is too difficult for me to load it into a pick up truck and travel to a better location. This telescope & Base can be transported but it takes 2 strong people to get it loaded into a pickup and 2 strong people to set it up.
