My father was an avid amateur astronomer but is now 90 years old and can no longer use his equipment. I am getting ready to sell his estate and want to bring his telescopes from his home near San Francisco to my home in Seattle. I am not an knowledgeable astronomer but do know you need to be very careful when you disassemble and transport telescopes. I am looking for advice on what I need to do to dismount the scopes (Meade 16 inch LX200GPS and a Celestron 16 inch) along with two Software Bisque ME mounts and transport them back to my house. I know you need to lock mirrors and such but do not know how to do this. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you
