I'm the proud owner of a 10" Dob, purcahsed late last night - thanks Paul!

Heading to dark skies tonight for a play!

What surprised me was the considerable weight difference between this and the 8" from earlier days. The 8" I kept in the box it came in and used the foam supports to carry in the ute between town and the dark skies.

So, my question is - what's the best way to transport the 10" given that I don't have the box. I looked at the Supercheap Auto tool boxes but these are either pretty flimsy or weigh 40kgs. Also, at 1300mm long I don't reckon they give sufficient room to safely lift it in and out.

Today I'll make some wooden cradles for it to sit in for now but wonder if anyone has a nifty solution to the transport of 10" and 12"s.

cheers,
