The easiest way to test would be to use a big basin. Basically you can only do about max 18" diameter basin. That sounds good, 12" can go through. But then the base of a 8" dob is already 20+". I have posted on CN before.
This affects both 50th storey and 26th storey SBs.
One could disassemble and then assemble the base boards, but i'd rather not. Esp not with a tracking dob with encoders and stuff. Waste time, sweat, and by the time you are ready to ob already half dead. And then to go out you need to repeat it, sure way to kill the hobby.
Teeter scope is the only thing that can go through.
