Moving Planning

Moving the telescopes is the hard part. So i remember where i found these boxes, i am linking them here.

Big Bertha is a truss tube reflector so the upper and lower cages come apart.  Each assembly fits into a 36" x 36" x 36" box available here at a reasonable price.
The truss tubes are compact but long.  The mirror will go in its shipping container and that into a 24" x 24" x 12" box.  

The 8" reflector is a bit harder.  The mirror comes out and ships in its own heavily bubble wrapped box.  The tube goes into this 72" x 12" x 12" box.

The 5" refractor goes in a 10" x 10" x 60" box.

The mounts diassemble into fairly small parts that go in very ordinary boxes.  Those 10" x 10" x 60" boxes are sufficient for long guns.  Since I need to buy a bundle at a time, one bundle should handle all of these.
