Celestron 130slt dimensions ?

[smuudge]

Hi have just purchased a Nexstar 130 SLT (not received yet) and would like to buy a carry case for it. Can anyone tell me the dimensions of the tube, tripod and GOTO approx please?

Looks to be pretty simular to my astromaster 130, but mine has a normal eq2 mount.

The tube is about 61.5 x 16.5cm, with a focuser protruding on one side about 10 cm long.

The tripod is about 15 x 75 cm folded up.

Cant help you with the other dimensions sadly.

But i would reckon you will need a fair sized flight case to fit all in. (actualy not a bad idea tbh )

Ok thanks!

Including the GOTO head on the mount, reckon it's closer to 90cm - 1m when folded
