Hi All,

I would like your opinion on transporting telescopes ranging from 6" to 16" reflectors. Imagine this, the scope transported in a box 100% covered in foam to stop it bouncing around. Would it better (safer) to remove the primary mirror especially on the larger scopes and transport it flat in padded area e.g. back seat or do you think it would be OK.

Also transporting on a trailer, too much bouncing around?

Keep in mind remote locations of some observing sites
