I think I ended up using a roll and a half of
bubblewrap just for the
scope.
It's great you used lots of bubblewrap, but that's not enough to cope
with the abuse UPS puts on packages here in the US. You'd definitely
need to at least double-box, and probably need corner protectors and
some sort of hollow cap to cover knobs and connectors on the front.
Just imagine what would happen to your scope if it was dropped on a
corner of the face from a height of 6 feet or so. That's entirely
typical of the handling I see.
