How much clearance between scope & roof.....

[laser_jock99]

.....do you have? I ended up with 3-4" spare above the scopes in their 'parked' position (i.e. lying as flat as possible. I think I could mount an 8" scope and still close the roof, but that would be cutting it very fine. As it is the heavy duty rubber weather flap drags across the scopes. So I'm wondering how much room others have left?

The rubber weather seal skims the scopes on the way over.....

With my SW200 I have one inch at the side of the dome all round, really have to make sure I put it on the mount right

I have 2" clearance between the highest scope and the edge of the roof as it rolls off. But that is with mount in the "home" position. I could get more if I were to park with the scopes flat like you have above. Just as well as I might invest in something bigger than my ED80 in time. I'd like a MN190

Suppose it does not matter as long as it clears it and you remember to park the scope before closing the roof! thats looks plenty though in my opinion.

I only have a couple of inches clearance with the scopes "flat" when opening the roof on my obsy. I can't quite get "home" position with the roof closed as my metal shed has a deep rib running the length of the roof apex which just catches the scope.

I only have about an inch with scope horizontal but I also made telescopic steel pier so I can raise the scope a foot to see over the edge of the shed.

Got a picture of that arrangement?
