Allow for the tube and base when choosing storage and a route outside. This is telescope kit mass, not packed shipping weight.
A tabletop base that travels with the tube.
The 114mm tabletop model puts a short reflector on a low Dobsonian base. Place it on a stable, level support at a comfortable observing height. The tube cradle lets you turn the eyepiece into a useful position.
