Heads up - a Celestron NexImage 5 colour CCD has just gone up in the classifieds for £120 - good price! :)

In fact, he's put a few bit and pieces on that might be of some interest to people, including a Revelation EP and filter set, and a Hyperion zoom EP :)

Could do both in the garden easily yes. Winscarr is a bit more tricky but not impossible. Still undecided.

Finished my flight case (for now), and fitted my other EPs, 2x barlow and colour/moon filters from my other Celestron kit into the same case.

As I treat myself to new EPs I can move out any that I won't be using as much.

At least I only have to grab the one case when I go out viewing now.

Job's a good 'un! :)

I went and bought one from maplin yesterday and got all of my stuff in it too they are pretty neat little cases?

Who is?

User name "springbok" - have you ever looked in the classifieds Adam?

Click the link at the top of the page - worth looking at daily as there can be some good deals to be had, but you have to be quick :)

That's why I gave everyone the heads up as it had only just been posted when I checked on there.

I have a quick look every time I log on lol

My case came with the foam already fitted inside - it's that stuff that's in little squares, so you just cut away what you don't need - easy.

It's ok for light bits of kit, but would not offer enough support for heavy things, such as mounts etc.

You'd need much firmer packing for that kind of kit :)

I've got my EQ5 mount head in one, seems solid enough, but I guess no where near as big or heavy as an HEQ5 or EQ6

The big car park Adam. It's on Hade edge side of dunford bridge on the way towards Holmfirth.

Yeah....i have no idea where that is lol all i know is i went to a small-ish car park that people use for things other than sky watching, you heading up there or you thinking more local?

Type in

Red Apple Workers Cooperative in Google maps

It will show you where the turning is to the large car park
