Upgrading my Skywatcher Dobsonian Telescope with $20 items!!!!!!

In this video i have tried to solve my biggest issue of carrying the telescope around the house by simply putting Castor rolls on the legs of the telescope.
This was the cheapest & best option i could think of , I have also used Door stopper as a handle to move the scope which was only $1.
The total built cost was $20.
3 X Castor Rolls = $15
1 X Door Stopper = $1
1 X Screw pack = $4
What i have done in this video is my own experiment so if you want to do something like this to your own telescope, please do it at your own risk.

Thanks.

Just curious.. do the swivel casters hit the 3 rubber legs when they swivel? Or did you take those legs off after? I thought you were going to take the legs off first and use the hole for one of the 4 caster holes. Also, is it harder to level the base for setting circles with the rolling casters as opposed to the rubber feet? Thanks for the video. Oops.. edit: I thought I saw you mentioned setting circles for your base.. my mistake.

No the castor wheels are bigger than the rubber feets.... apologies for the late response

I have never seen a door stopper like that- where did you get it?

[@starstruckbyashwinchavan5378]

Hey Brian, I got it from Bunnings

How do you upgrade an 8in Dobsonian to make it usable, w tracking and pointing? Put it on a Celestron CG-4 with ring clamps.

[@starstruckbyashwinchavan5378]

Not sure what you meant 😞 can you please elaborate more so I can assist 😉
