eyepiece storage ?

[rory]

got to get some more foam as my e/p 's change. but im wondering if anyone cuts the foam to take the whole actual bolt case ? rather than fitting the e/p within alone with just end caps ? is it pointless storing e/ps in a bolt case and then within the foam to ? i suppose they can rattle about in the bolt cases .

I wouldn't bother with a case within a case, I like to open the lid and be able to pick up an ep, so much easier to change over. I just drop the lid to prevent it filling with dew.

i really need to start thinking about an eyepiece case,something big to hold several ep's,a powermate,finderscope and several filters and adaptors.was looking at a Vanguard 13S http://www.supaprice.co.uk/p/result.jsp?ga=uk9&q=vanguard+case or something similar and then as ep's change i would likely just swap the bits of foam rather than purchase a full piece,unless it was fairly cheap

Yes, you can see that in the third post in the eyepiece case thread

All but two of my eyepieces are stored in my eyepiece cases with only their end caps

The Maplin aluminium flight case is almost the standard SGL eyepiece case.

hi rory,

I've got this one few days ago, and I love it, it's very strong and safe. I got the larger size, a bit heavy.

I built a drawer under the warm room worktop, it measures 34" wide, 19" Deep, 3" high split the drawer in 2 down the middle, searched Amazon for some Foam and found a lump the Drawer on Metal ball bearing runners comes out 16" and will take 25KG cost around £15 for the foam and runners the wood (Oak) i had in the workshop.
