Well the funny thing is that I didn't get a cloth/nylon strap as mentioned in the manual. It came with a 2cm diameter keychain-type ring as you mentioned - took me a while to figure out what to do with it (after hitting my knuckles several times)
Guess I should grab a bigger ring. Would that work fine or does the spring really need to be stretched as far as possible for the mount to hold the OTA steady?
Sorry for all the silly questions. I just want to make sure I treat the telescope well.
