Hello again all

How do folks store their assembled imaging train, when they don't have observatories or capacity to wheel mount plus train into climate controlled environments for storage?

Naturally I don't want to have to take flats every time I image, particularly when gathering data over multiple nights.

I see online lots of people seem to just plonk their scopes with everything attached onto a shelf - is this the go? If I buy some hard foam and cut it to profile, I can ensure even pressure along the train?

My alternative is to invest in something like a 120 x 40cm padded hard case, which would make dark site travel a possibility, though only for the right targets as I tend to like to complete a target in one visit on those trips, rather than build it up over multiple sessions.

I had a quick search on here and didn't see a thread, so started this one. Hope that's ok as I'm sure this question comes up all the time, and the solutions are many and varied.
