Hello, I just got an Oklop carrier bag for my Orion XT6: https://www.astrosho...50-1200/p,55891
The bag (which is for a Newtonian 150mm/1200mm) looks great, good quality, good padding. But, if you use it with a Skyquest XT6, you need to remove and unscrew the tension springs on the sides (which help it sit securely on the Dobsonian mount) because the bag is perfectly designed for a tube, but a tube without any bumps on the side (except for the pouch sticking out for the focuser). So, it's a little tight, but it works. So, basically, I would recommend that you get a slightly bigger bag (they have 200/1200) if you use it for a Skyquest. There you go.
Does anyone know if it's a bad idea to remove those springs and screws from the side of the Orion Skyquest telescope everytime I put it in the bag? And does anyone know if its a bad idea to have a slightly tight bag (because of the bumps where you pivot the scope on the Dobsonian mount)? Attached is a picture of the kind of scope.
If the above are not problems, then Oklop do great bags.
