I have this little scope. I use it with a 32mm GSO Plössl and for a finder I use the tube of a pen, like this: Thanks for the thread. I'll bookmark it!

Many thanks, Martin, the atlas is huge. Enormous. Overwhelming!

I really like this tip by L8-Nite: http://stargazerslounge.com/topic/254918-custom-made-eyepiece-case/#entry2781119 It teaches how you can use empty spray cans to make holes of the right size in foam. Wonderful, simple and effective! I suppose you have to make sure that the cans are really empty before you do this. Thanks to everyone who shows their eyepiece cases here. I visit regularly to have a look at them. Wouldn't want to miss any!

a few more wheels on it and you'd think it is a locomotive. What a thing!

That's an amazing collection of cases, Dave. We need more pictures, in which you open them all, case after case.

Hi Andrew, the slowly moving stars are satellites. The most obvious are the International Space Station and the Iridium satellites. The Iridium satellites can show very bright reflections of sunlight, and for the ISS you can subscribe to the Spot the Station service of NASA.

Lovely case everyone. With such well protected and cared after eyepieces, I would not hesitate buying second hand from any of you.

A wonderful instrument. Congratulations, Alan!

Hi all, we're close to a hundred pages now. Does anyone else think it would be a good idea to start a new thread "Show us your eyepiece case(s) part 2" ? Cheers

Problem solved, and a great solution it is.

Hi, I wonder if the observation is incompatible with a quad copter or a Chinese lantern.

Olly, Tim, it's magnificent ! Thank you for putting so much work in it. What an accomplishment !

Ah, thanks.

You certainly are a master in the art of foam cutting, and yours is a wonderful case with beautiful eyepieces, but what is that thing at the bottom?

You'll need more than one case...

Hello Vlad, You clearly have an eye for quality. Please tell us, why do you have your mind set on both a 24mm Panoptic and a 22mm Nagler?

Nitrogen, Argon, it doesn't matter -- It's a gimmick anyway. Argon is used in light bulbs. It must be quite inexpensive.

Beautiful cases, Barry, and a wonderful collection of glass. I enjoyed looking around at Wood Wonders' website. Hi Trazor, you have some great eyepieces in your collection and you're obviously more dexterous than most of us with pluck foam. Neat job!

Vixen says 65° on their website. That's what GotGazer 's says on the barrel, but Michael's says 72°. You'd think that Vixen reduced the afov without changing the name of the eyepiece. That's confusing!! Pincushion plays a role in how big the true fov is. The 10 mm 90° Takahashi UW (the king of pincushion distortion) has a bout the same true field as the 10 mm 82° Celestron Luminous.

Great eyepieces, Bond19, but the pluck foam doesn't do them justice. I've heard that you can use fretsaw on deep-frozen foam to get nicely fitting holes with good looking edges (maybe the foam needs to be moist for that). I'm planning on trying this myself.

It's a terrific arrangement, YKSE. You spent those cloudy nights well. And your money too - nice eyepieces!

It's a beautiful collection, Steve. Nice case too!
