Lightbridge mirror cover

Hi all,

Firstly great site, I've spent a lot of time reading it over the past few months and would have to say it helped me choose my last purchase.

I recently purchased a Meade 12" Lightbridge. Unfortunetly I dropped the flimsy plastic mirror cover onto the primary mirror and put a small mark on the mirror. While I don't think that this small mark will cause any significant issues I would hate to do it again so hence my question.

Has anyone made a mirror cover similar to those used on obsession style telescopes, ie It fits to the top of the mirror box and doesn't fit around the mirror, what do people think? is this a good idea or not?

I figure if it snuggly fits the top of the mirror box then it will be to wide to fall into the box.

Once again great site.
