Floater

Nice new case and EPs but ... Hah!

Och! This thread has gone frayed. It'll be the whisky that gets the blame, I warrant!

Ha! We have the culprit, folks!

I'm happy to see this thread run forever if this is the sort of thing we're heading towards. The 'seat' was enough to make my jaw drop and then when I saw that beautiful scope, storage space - and the lighting/setting - Mrs Floater rushed to get me a brandy. Bless her.

Correct! QED.

... and quality people.

The exercise matting is a great idea, Mike. Now, where did my wife leave that mat ...

Dude/Gaidis your posts indicate an amazing incoming and outgoing of EPs that sometimes leaves me breathless ... The sheer energy of throughput would be enough to power a small town! (With suitably shaded and astronomy friendly lighting, of course!)

Love this thread, so here I go. My latest milestone on what is the EP case journey. Destination unknown ...

This is it! Having taken delivery of my 40mm EP, I will not be buying any more eyepieces for some considerable time. I intend to work with these and build my experience looking through them. And I have avoided inserting any question marks or ellipses - because I have made up my mind. Too much time (and money) spent on researching and hunting down the EPs and filters I had decided would cover all bases for me and my scopes. So no more scouring the classifieds, ABS, Astroboot or eBay. I'm done. I'm there. It's complete. Over. Sorted. Thanks for looking, as the ads might say.

Lean and clean, Caldwell14. Respect.

Don't see many of these big 'uns ... The 'heavies'. Nice.

That's great, Tim. A nice, old world look about it and I love these interesting pieces ... But I think the OCD brigade are going to be pacing the floor!!

John, surely that's far too sensible and simply mundane for this thread ... Feng shui, OCD, micrometer-accurate alignments, neuroses, hissy fits and the odd Gollum-like whisper of 'it's our preciousss, it isss' ... That's what's needed here. Arranged is not the key word. However, deranged might be!

Dangerously empty (i.e. expensive) space ...

... 'don't think I need anything else' ... To THINK leaves a door open; to NEED is a revolving door. Cases with lovely contents, Stu.

This thread rivals 'when will this weather end'. Bonny to watch.

Do you use them all, Jules?

Oh! And as for the 40mm wide field, OH! It's that green and black monster again. It's back. Oh it's bad. It's bad bad bad .....

Nice set. That 18mm is a serious looking EP!

Another neat case, Michael - which also has that 'I'm waiting' look about it ...

If you only have two then those are a nice two to have.

Neat job, Digger. And plenty of space to 'work' with ... Why does empty space in the case look expensive? :-)

Looks great, Derek. But who are you kidding with 'just might be room'?! Looks to me like youve deliberately LEFT room ...!!

Got it. Thanks, Mods. (Don't think the plural collective was ever resolved, was it?) Glad there's no room at the inn for rascals!
