probably works ok but a bit pricey, looks like the tube is sonotube cardboard not sure if that makes a difference but damp conditions wouldn't do it any good l think.

a bit big and pricey for me. I will stick to $1000 for 10" dob with some necessary accessories.

Bit of a wierd set up Dave.
There are no mounting rings, which means the mount bolts directly to the Sonotube.

I would be concerned about bolts and cardboard! Especially in wet or humid conditions.
