Show me your eyepiece/accessories case, please.

[Ruud]

Wow! $150!

It's beyond my budget for cases, but it still looks nice.

That's a superb collection of eyepieces, Gavster, congratulations

[bomberbaz]

you see i cant do that gavster, keep my premium ep's seperated,its like going to a pub to drink tea or something like that, just couldnt do it.

I would be worried that some of them might get it into thier heads that I dont like them anymore and start giving bad views, (yes mine do talk to me to you know)

Lovely collection you have there, though Televue cases is one expense I will not stretch to.

These are my current eyepieces although I still need a few more to finish off. The majority get used with different scopes but there are a few that need passing on.

1st & 2nd cases are my widefield eyepieces and the 3rd case is my binoview pairs & ortho's.

[Chris]

That's one serious collection of glass! and hears me debating if I've got too many What are your thoughts on the ES100's Plantins? I've been gobsmacked by mine so far

[Plantins]

Hi Chris,

I only use them in my C14 Edge and think in that scope in all honesty I can't tell the difference between the ES & Ethos. I had all the Ethos and decided to pass them on as I'm not too keen on the ultra wideangle with refractors. With the C14 the ES are equally as good. If I had a large dob though I think the Ethos would be better corrected from 70 degree outwards.

Only my thoughts of course!

bloomin hell my jaw dropped when I saw this lot, superb collection of glass mate. Right minds made up, you can't have too many eyepieces and i will buy me a new Vixen, thanks for the nudge 

[Fozzie]

Whhhoooooaaaa! Plantins I've just banged my chin on my desk...! that is an impressive collection.

[AndyH]

Yum, yum

What are the two on the top right of the 3rd pic?

[YKSE]

Plantins,

Congratulations  , those three cases are super-heavy weight collections, not only quality wise, literally too.

[Plantins]

They are old B&L Criterion 16.3mm Erfle's.

I also bought mine purposefully for my C8 Edge and so far I'm very happy, they really open out the field of view plus none of that eyelashes hitting the glass mallarky like I had with the ES82's. I would like to try them in a frac or dob sometime but this will have to weight until I own one with a 2" focuser

The C8 Edge is quite a machine so your C14 Edge must be something else!

[bomberbaz]

Actually 2nd thoughts its rubbish, where's your 12mm Delos   

[Ruud]

Plantins!

Isn't that €8000 worth of eyepieces?

Go and see a shrink!

I'm kidding, and green with envy. I think your collection is awesome.

About time I updated my Eyepiece collection Photo, here goes:

Here is a closer view, sorry about quality but light is terrible here

The little white box is a reducer and the 9 is the Vixen SLV.

[Ruud]

It's a beautiful collection, Steve. Nice case too!

[Stu]

That is a lovely collection Steve, and beautifully laid out too.

Thanks Stu, i decided to lay them out by manufacturer as this seemed to give the best overall layout to the eye then spent a good while marking the small blocks out in dull felt pen before carefully lifting them out, end result is the eyepieces are a nice snug fit in each one. Very pleased with the end result myself.

After adding some new toys, the case looks a little different:

But you'd think for the money, that TV could sort out that terrible fuzzy green writing!

[bond19]

And to think I didn't own any decent eyepieces 3 weeks ago.. Bank account now flatlined!! (but still pining for an Ethos 21mm)

Was it that obvious?   Two half clear nights in a whole month   Better to do something fun and save a few bugs than to complain the weather was the idea.
