The box dimensions are 200mm tall, 605mm wide by 415mm deep. These dimensions can change a little depending on the final size of the alt bearings.
There is a packing pattern that will allow the box to be stood up on one of the small ends.
The base model is not dust proof. I would never claim 100% dust proof. The mirror box is the easiest to make dust resistant, & closest to dust proof. The mount can have provisions added to make it a lot more dust resistant. There will be a "scope swag" available for the stowed box (SURPRISE! more on this later), and I guess if something more dust resistant is required it can be custom made. A cover for the assembled scope is also being designed (second SURPRISE!)
The mirror box has a sturdy cover. The secondary comes with a soft pouch. So it can be safely left assembled. This is not a solar scope, nor is it designed for solar observing. ALL CARE must be taken to ensure the sun does not shine directly on the primary mirror! NO open truss scope should have sun light shine directly on its primary mirror.
