My scopes are already at Marymount Extraspace for the last 1.5 years!

Just remember that if you guys use storage hubs, try to throw in a few dehumidifiers and change them regularly. That will keep your storage locker dry to a certain extend.

I was thinking of getting this 6" APO, but last minute decided to change my mind because I know it will again end up at Extra space.

When this 6" scope is finally here, please sms me if there is a observation session. can't wait to test it.

The solution is simple. Get the 6" APO. Sell scopes in Extra Space to clear space for it. :)

would be wise to double-check that the lens is clean and clear, free from haze regardless whether new or not bro.
