Case for an 80ED PRO

[rawhead]

I would like a case for my Skywatcher Evostar 80ED PRO.

Anyone found anything other than the £70 Skywatcher offering that's up to the job?

Cheers

Mine came with the case and I must say if its 70 quid to buy separate that's not too bad a price. The aluminum case is pretty sturdy and the foam cutouts are molded perfectly for the ED80. Worth buying IMHO

Maplin have some flight cases you could probably make use of. Just need you to cut the foam inserts correctly.

I guess one of these would fit?

Might want to check the sizes though.

There is NO WAY you are going to an ED80 in one of the Maplin flight cases... not even across the diagonal. The ED80 is HUGE....

Just over 600mm in length without the diagonal
