Correct Storage

I have a CPC 8" Celestron and I keep it in a storage bag, but in order to store it in this storage bag, it needs to be kept in an upright position with the OTA folded down between the fork mount with the rear end facing up. My question is whether or not it is OK to store it in this position with the mirror always in this position. Any suggestions are welcome.

I don't think you'll have any problem. I always stored my C11 "corrector up", but I've read posts from several that store their SCTs "corrector down" without problem.
