do not do this

While snooping about the Celestron web site, gathering specs on the EdgeHD 11 SCT, I noted the image at the top of the page...


Now, I get the lifestyle thing, the whole family, it's a family hobby, kids, women too, having fun, everybody happy, more or less, enjoying the Universe together, blah, blah, blah. But, what's with the 'scope on the shoulder?! And precariously balanced in the right hand? Huh? What?!

And why does man have the biggest one?! Hrrm.

Please. Please. Transport your telescope with care. Transport with the covers on and secured. Transport in a case. Ideally a case with protection, such as padding, foam, shock protection.

Sheesh.
