Large Dob transportation

Hi.

In recent weeks I have taken my 300mm Bintel Dob (12" to any more Jurassic metrological colleagues) away a few times, and was impressed (or depressed) by the amount of sheer effort it required to get that amount of aperture out to the dark sky sites near me.

I managed to get the necessary gear into the limo (a widebody Toyota Camry), but it left no room for colleagues, wives, concubines, eskys, golf bags, tents and the 250mm Dob as well.

Accordingly I have looked in Drive.com for a solution and this is my choice (attached). It will fit all required with space to spare, and even allow me to stretch out on the queen sofa with a Jack Daniels and cokeClick image for larger version

The only difficulty is that it will not go around the roundabouts at Lithgow.

Cheers
