Good luck

The folded section would take about 900mm of the length of the straight tube I would say. There is only one mirror in this scope as opposed to the other folded designs with the 'N' or 'Z' shape. The dew shield is massive though at 500mm long, should be quite effective I would say. I should upload some more pictures with measurements I guess.
