i have one which also has a motorcycle in it but they great as a temporary telescope shelter too they clip together like a frame tent so can be packed up and put in a car for taking to a site.they peg down on the inside and obviously fold back when observing then quickly folded back over if rain threatens.hight wise it depends on your telescope i can fit a 12" dob in it or my astromaster 130 so could be a possibility for you

hi all thanks 4 all the info and likes and hates lol.looks like they have got a really good reputation from what i see.tho they seem big and boxy ive seen they are lightweight which is good in one way,to much on the ota could over balance it ect.im going to shop about for a good deal so thanks to those recomending good dealersive been put of by the finder on my astromaster but not the scope itself as its a great well built unit shame the finder is not.celestron need to review the situation and come up with a better solution for new scopes and the chance to existing astromaster users to replace their current finder.a new years resolution to celestron lol redesign their astromaster finder scopes :-)

hi all most of you probably seen my posts about my new telescope the astromaster, im getting on very well with my new purchase and had quite a bit of use out of it weather permitting however a certain part of it im am not and that is the sloppy excuse of a red dot finder attached to it.from what i see it has had a lot of negative feedback regarding the finder.im thinking of getting a telrad finder as ive seen they have had a lot of fantastic reviews ect.they seem very scarce in the uk but an ebay seller has started selling them and its accessories and is the only uk dealer on ebay.has any one here had good experiences with them or bad id love to hear as im going to treat myself to one with christmas or birthday money i get , cheers:)
