Ah, yes, Shane. The practicalities of transport. I'd be quite interested to hear how others on this site cart their equipment around the countryside.
When I purchased my latest 'scope I made sure that I knew the length of the tube so as to ensure that it would fit into my car. What I didn't take into account (there's one born every day) was the sheer bulk of the Dobsonian mount. I could readily disassemble the thing but I'm not too sure as to what effect this would produce over multiple assemblies and knock-downs - it's only made of compressed wood fibres as best I can gather and such action (abuse?) could wind up leaving me with a rather wobbly mount.
