JP87 Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 I live in a very light polluted city and I just received a scope for Christmas. Currently reading up as much as possible and learning to use my scope but there's no better learning than actually being out there. I would have to travel to a dark site but I own a Celestron Powerseeker 80eq and they don't make carry cases for those (that I've been able to come across). Does anybody have any suggestions on a carry case of another brand that might be suitable?Thanks!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirscovitch Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 When I take my 130SLT for a drive I just wrap the OTA in a thick blanket and using the seat belts in the back seat of the car, buckle it in. The mount rides in the trunk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The mount rides in the trunk.Do you stick a face on it so you can get in the Car Pool lane?That's funny, assuming 1. I've understood what a car pool lane is, and 2. you have car pool lanes. Otherwise I'm just sounding massively stupid or at best slightly ignorant Sorry, it's still raining and I'm at a loose end.I'll go away now.Sorry.

JP87 Posted January 3, 2014 Author Share Posted January 3, 2014 Thanks Kirscovitch! I can drive but I live in a major metropolitan area (NJ/NYC) and most of the traveling is done by rail. I can use the blanket when I drive into rural towns of NJ where I can find some pretty sweet dark sites.Good idea M37 lol We do have carpool lanes in the states but I think I'd have a hard time explaining to the cops that my scope REALLY IS my baby lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirscovitch Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 I just googled telescope cases and there were a ton that came up. Something like this?http://www.telescope.com/catalog/product.jsp?productId=15161&utm_source=channeladvisor&utm_medium=cse&utm_campaign=Channel%2Badvisor&CA_6C15C=245939167 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JP87 Posted January 4, 2014 Author Share Posted January 4, 2014 Yeah there are a ton but I'm not sure which one would fit my scope. I dont own an Orion but I guess if the specs are ok and the scope fits its doesn't even matter brand it is so you could be right, maybe I can just buy one suitable for my size scope.
