Hi Adam,
I take the whole scope and gear off the mount indoors, carry the mount outside (after taking the counterweights off!), then place the scope onto the mount and polar align etc so I avoid having to take the image train apart. When I travel I take the scope off the mount with the image train intact and place it in a Geoptik bag and it goes on a sleeping bag on the second row seats with seat belts round two pillows! Consequently I don’t get dust (well very occasionally)!
