Does it come with a storage case ? What is the best way to mount the base ? Is it weather resistant ?
No storage case is provided, generally the scopes are moved indoors at the end of viewing, and can be easily disassembled into tube and base for storage or light travel.
This dob isn't too heavy to move, though some people will put their dobs on a rolling cart or "wheelie" type of contraption to allow more easy movement of the scope, especially larger heavy ones.
The telescopes aren't weather resistant. A small amount of moisture or rain won't damage them, especially if they are wiped off immediately after, but it wouldn't be good for the scope to remain wet or be left out in the weather or rain when it's not in use.
Hi there, When do you think it will be back in stock? And what's the return policy? I'm looking to buy this as a gift, and I'd like the assurance to know they can return/refund it if it doesn't fit their needs. Thanks,
This item is expected to be available from Sky-Watcher at the end of October or early November 2020
