I tested by putting the sextant in the case and locking the lid down for 24
hours, then looking at where it left impressions on the lid foam.
Determined the pressure points that way. The only scope indents I saw were
around the rubber eye cup.
I do not have a digital camera, but will try to get some graphics for you.
