Hi,
I have been observing with binoculars for some months now and absolutely love it. But I want to see more than just gray blobs.
My issue is street lights around the house, I need to drive minimum 10 minutes over very bumpy gravel roads, uphill and downhill.
I would buy a skywatches dobsonian, but I am really woried if the mirror survives transport.
I have a Suzuki Jimny which has very constrained space. I would have to transport the OTA lying flat over the seats.
I am not sure if the mirror sits rigid enough to not fall out when it is shaken pointing nose down.
Or if the fixing will damage the edge of the mirror over time.
I really would appreciate your thoughts.
Also exact dimensions of the 10" Skywatcher classic dob ( for both tube and base) would be great to know, if it really fits.
Also how much would Pyrex help with large temperature difference?
Summer here has 40C and above during day and below 20C at night. Spring and Autumn shows only slightly less extreme differences. Would Pyrex keep up with cooling rates?
I found opinions differ on that topic.
Thank you!
