    Txs for your kind words, Jimi. Find a picture of my 30" below. Some minor finishing jobs are still required, but those do not hinder observations. Not shown: shroud and light shield.

    This is how it fits (just) in my car; I've made the design of the scope based on the dimensions of my car.

    The 13" is the work horse. I always take the mirrors and the SIPS in my hand luggage, but all the rest is packed in airplane luggage (en route to La Palma, and SaharaSky some years ago), and being thrown in and out of luggage holds and on the luggage claims. This results in scratches and dents, and sometimes some repairs are needed, but the machine is still going strong. Picture taken at La Palma, close to the ORM observatory.
