Case for Tak FC100 Class

Actually videos show scope pointing toward the clamp.  Sooooooooooooo, some user error there, I do believe.

Thank you.  So often my brilliance goes unappreciated.  After all, you can't take your temperature with an oven thermometer.

MEF3  has arrived.  Adding the Tak dual speed focuser.  Will help with the grab and go setup.

Installed.  Feels pretty good.  Of course, it's adjustable.  Will try first under the stars.

Updated Grab and Go.  New Tripod attached and new dual speed focuser in place.  Provides more balllast in the bottom end and the focuser will reduce torque.

Of course, it's raining once again, so I have not yet had a chance to see the real world impact.  And of course in this configuration, red dot on top of clam shell won't work, end of scope red dot looking more likely.  Now just to figure which one, and how to mount it.

Hi! Could you let me know the length of the tube with dew shield retracted measured to the silver ring end, where the focuser unit is screwed on? 

Hope you've been enjoying this treasure!
