Yeah the EQ mount on it isn't lightweight. This is a good thing though, keeps it properly stable.
I should be able to have some photos of it taken in the next couple of weeks (I'm currently about 300 miles away from it). One thing to note about it is that it was once left set up during the day with the dust cover off. The sun must have transited in front of it because the housing of the barlow lens got heated up a little bit and deformed. It's still completely functional and it hasn't affected the quality of the optics, it's just got a little weirdness on the barrel. But I'll take some photos once I can.
