Wheely Bars

I'm thinking about getting a set of these for my C11. Anyone have comments about these one way or the other? I'm also trying to find a sturdy wheeled cart to carry a laptop, monitor and all the astro-goodies we seem to need to enjoy the hobby. What has others done?

Thanks!!

The usefullness of wheely bars depends a great deal on: a. Can you leave the scope set up on its tripod? and b., what's the terrain over which the tripod has to traverse? as far as a cart, I got one with large pneumatic wheels at Sam's Club for $40.

I like the wheely bars, what you lose in stability is made up by the ease of setting up. The only time it gets shaky is when its windy, I cured that problem by raising the wheely bars up with the screws then lowering onto bricks under the frame. The only time I do this is when it's windy.

Paul,

They are great. I used have to have my girlfriend help me carry out the LX200-12" very time I wanted to observe. Now all I do is wheel it out of the garage onto the patio. Since my garage is unheated, that really shortens the time till the scope reaches equilibrium.
