Helios Nirvana ED 8x42's.
Pin-sharp stars. No CA. Great FOV. Light and comfortable to hold. Expensive but worth it.
And now some Apollo 15x70's as well !

...and most recently some Helios Weathermaster III 10x50 porros for the car

I have to carry 2.. surely im not the only one?
This one is 'main' case; those in my signature. Not sure why I seem to be the only person who stacks them standing up. Front from left to right 4.7, 6.7, 8.8, 11 centre 14, centre top 18, top right 24. space for a 30..
Other case, all my other bits! some BSTs (5, 18, 25) some plossls (32, 12.5) a barlow, cheshire and laser collimators, 3 filters (solar, neodynium and uhc) and of course the trusty red torch and copy of sky and telescope pocket atlas! As you can see this case has grown over time and as such the foam is a little bit, well, disordered!
It's ok Stargazer. I do it standing up too.

I highly recommend these to you. You can often pick these up quite cheap on Amazon for Kindle....

Cracking pier by the way. I'd like to pick your brains one day when I'm ready to start my obsy....
