Your Dob too long???

Spotted this on another forum, looks like a good mod especially if you've only got a small car. http://www.astromart.com/forums/view...&news_id=&page=

That's a good one. I've been thinking about something like this so I could cram a 12" in the hatchback. And you wouldn't need a focuser anymore. Just slide the top tube up and down!
