Telescope storage - wall mount ?

[Eddie Jones]

Hi All,

I like to keep my imaging rig setup and  ready for action. At the moment it sits on a piece of foam on the scope box.

I'm thinking about buying and fixing a dovetail clamp onto my wall and clamping the whole rig on the wall when not in use.

 

Anyone tried this before ?    silly idea ?     How do you store a ready-to-go imaging rig  ?

I was having a similar issue and found this topic. . Its quite a faff to dissassemble everything so I can put my telescope into its case.

Have you found a solution to it? I wouldnt leave it wall mounted, its very expensive equipment and you might accidentally not lock it secure... The big losmandy dovetail I use is quite stable so I usually leave it on top of my work desk (not on the floor as pictured lol).

If it helps, I plan to buy some ADM clamps so I can easily detach the vixen dovetail and store each thing in its own box. 

I would like to know what other people do to get inspiration
