Found a great case for Celestron 8SE

[jonathan]

Saw this outside Yorkshire Trading, knowing how expensive good quality storage boxes can be I checked it out and bought one, making sure to put together a good lid and base that fitted correctly (some needed to be pushed in to fit, others fitted straight away).

This takes my 8SE original foam packaging like a glove with a little space at either end for accessories, perfect!  It has small wheels at one end but I probably wouldn't risk bumping it along the ground with the OTA inside.

At £20 it's far cheaper than the official Celestron case (the price of which is a joke, quite frankly) and should do the job just as well.

Hi Jonathon,

That looks and sounds like a very neat solution and as you say an awful lot cheaper than the official solutions. Well done.

Do they ship to Ireland?. I still have the foam that my 8SE came packed in (well 1 half). Ive yet to find the perfect solution for storing and transporting.

This could be it.

looks perfect. got any pics of it all snuggly packed away? In theory it should fit the 800 Edge as well then I guess.....?
