Carrying a astroscope
Has anyone tried carrying their Scope and Camera with something like a Black Rapid Strap?. I used to use one with a 300/2.8 lens (about the same weight as a Skywatcher 80ED) and it was very comfortable and easy to get at. I had an Arca lens plate attached to the lens and a Arca clamp attached to the BR strap - that way it was very quick and easy to attached the rig to a tripod. My only concern with the Skywatcher is if it is too long and cumbersome to carry in this way.
