Alex.
Internally 3'10" x 3'10" and 3'10" high at roof peak.

Externally 4' x 4' x 4'

If you want to image from 'inside' an obs you will need a minimum of 3mx3m.

Gary, the one on the imaging cam just holds it up against the cardboard tube so it doesn't slide out. I rarely use the tube. So that rubber band isn't normally there. I used it for a Sunspot image yesterday. The one on the guidecam stops it turning when the mount slews.
