Hi,
I have a 12.5" f/5 Truss Tube Dob with a mirror cell built per Kriege's book.

Often after I transport the scope, the sling has slipped off the mirror. Has anyone else encountered this and if so, how did you remedy it. I have some ideas, but wanted to know how this has already been dealt with.

Thanks,
Glenn

Hello, you put a piece of double sided tape between the sling and the mirror. See Kriege's book page 146.
