Take it with you as the views thru it may be better than you expect and having it there means you can compare views you will see thru other scopes.
You may be pleasantly surprised how good it is.. lets face it Newton would have loved such a huge scope... When I first started using my cheap 70mm I expected little but it surprised me how effective it was.. and 114mm is very respectable for many objects..thats about 4.5 times bigger app than Newton had..the Southern skies were seen earliest thru a .5 inch refractor a very professional instrument at the time.. amybe you will get a tip on how to use it more effectively as well
