Thanks Mark! I already made one sketch through this scope (when it was still rainpipe-grey) It works great!

Yesterday afternoon I made a wooden box for this telescope for safe storage and transport. I used some leftover plywood that I found in my "workshop". It's not the best looking (or best painted) thing I've made, but it does the job!
