Re: New Obsession 22" UC

Uh oh, another nutcase like myself. ;)

In all seriousness, don’t you agree that it makes it a heck a lot easier to unpack and pack? My TAC-Sac buddies not only surprised that I can stuff the scope in my car, but how quickly I can unload, have it all setup and have it all dialed in ready for the night sky. I guess I do it enough that I get it.

I do the same with my 22" mirror. Makes it far easier for me to lift the mirror box out of my Beetle.

Very cool!

90 lbs is allot to lift, espcially from ground level. However, it Is compact:-)

Scott Baker takes his 18" mirror right out of his UC and puts it in a separate case. That makes the weight very managable. Great idea if you can do it carefully. I suspect that 22" UC owners will do the same.
