Congratulations on the new scope!!!
Mike is always a great guy to do business with.
The red dot finder is not very big, so look for it tucked away in one of the foam pieces.
Or it could be in a small box, with all that packaging you may have put it in the recycling bin!!
The secondary mirror could be covered with a material satchell with a draw string to hold it to the spider.
I've also seen a plastic jar (of suitable size) with slits cut into the sides for the spider. Then you seal the jar with the screw cap.
Weather permitting we (Macarthur Astronomical Society) will be observing out at The Oaks this coming Saturday.
If you would like to attend, please let me know.

Had no problem assembling the package, but noticed the red dot finder wasn't included in the box. Do the 10" LB come with red dot finders?
My second question is whats the best way of covering the secondary mirror ? I don't feel comfortable having it exposed in my garage as I know dust will accumilate over it.
Thanks guys for the help.
P.S: Not too sure how people consider 10" GSO portable (for a sedan)? We tried to fit the mount into my car (WRX sedan) and there was no way in hell it was going to fit, same with 12" LB. 10" LB fits snuggly in boot of my car |
