When I saw the boxes in Bintel Melbourne last year, they were pretty BIG!


Meade don't even give the box dimensions for the 16" on their sites? They do for the other sizes?

To be honest no, i did take a picture of michael putting it together, but no measurements. It was out of my league at that stage and touching it would have only served to torment So if the base is 80cm round , would it be the same heightwithout the tube assembly?

No, height above ground whilst standing on its 3 feet is 63cm. Tube dia 40cm not including focuser etc.
