Show me your eyepiece/accessories case, please.

[tingting44]

got my maplins large case this morning, in the sale from £35 to £25, really happy with it, ive not been picking the foam out, simply pushing the foam in so the stuff does not just fall to the bottom, again im really happy with it for the money, ive not got expensive ep's like i see on here but i love it none the less and it means i do not have to keep it all in one of my wifes make up boxes any more lol

im about half way done so far so will put a pic up when i finish later on

[Damo636]

but what to put in the top right space?

Some very nice glass in there Alan! I see you have a taste for the Hyperwides so I would suggest one of these top left.....:-)

A couple of weeks... the finishing is what takes the time. Here, check out my latest with the Pleiades, Maple on Bubinga:

Thanks everyone! I appreciate the compliments!

On of these days I'll be offering them up for sale... However the shipping to Europe may be cost prohibitive.

Thanks,

Jaimo!

I got my Maplins case today, my old box just wouldn't fit everything. From unboxing to eyepieces inside, with a pound coin for scale .

For some reason I cannot paste my case pic.

Kinda BORING.......but this is mine:4mm,6mm,9mm,15mm,32mm,2x Barlow,moon filter and 6 different coloured filters. Also have a couple of 10mm,20mm and 25mm. Waiting on a SW LP filter to add to it.

im thinking about buying this kit...any good?

Since this is a eyepiece discussion thread, I just want to make it clear, solar filter must be front mounted ahead of the telescope.

Eyepiece mounted solar filter can crack easily from the sun's heat and is extremely dangerous and should be disposed of immediately.

While Pig's signature isn't clear, I suspect his solar filter is front mounted.

I picked up a Pelistorm im2300 on fleabay a few months ago for £40. I was really impressed by it and decided to get a second one (also from fleabay, £35 no foam). Now a matching pair
