''As you can see, the mirror is more exposed to incidental dust and dirt than in a traditional design, but that's one of the few trade-off's for the ultra light weight and portability of the Obsession UC.'

Answer to that is I can see an easy solution.
You can make a dust shroud on which you stand.

All in all,
I have to say,
Have scope, will travel!

But now that we have our Greek friends to gate-crash upon, we need not worry about bringing a scope on our hols!

Still not hand-luggage. And going by that thread you referred to, it's gonna cost extra due to excess weight. Also, the poles aren't exactly gonna fit in you coat pocket, now are they.

better than trying to transport a C14!

Mmmmmm.... Toasted Sandwich Kit Get one of those also
