Poncho,
G'day.
I travelled with my collapsable OTA packed away all secure in the original box for a couple of years - Astrofest, School nights, Urban Observers. Arrive. Unpack. Put the light shroud on. Eventually I thought it was all a bit tedious.
Then it was with tube collapsed lying across the back seat. Arrive. Put the light shroud back on. In time, that became a bit tedious too.
Now, the extended OTA with shroud in place is laid down safe and securely in the back of my Camry wagon. Arrive. Put part A on part B and screw in the handles.
Collimation is not a major part of the experience.
Cheers.
