Oh my word! I like this a lot! I see I nice gap ready for the 3.4mm HR? perhaps? I know FLO has just received a small number over here.

Latest eyepice case with recent accusations 

I think the only thing you can be accused of is leaving so much space for more EP's ?

I've started to assemble a dedicated case for high power viewing.

Comprises Fujiyama HD-OR 4, 5, 6, 7 mm, Nagler 3-6 mm zoom, Takahashi 2x Barlow. Plenty of room for some more :happy7:

All housed in a CamKit case - it's the second one of these that I've got - this one is blue to differentiate it from my Takahashi LE collection contained in a black version. These CamKit cases are great for standard sized 1.25 inch eyepieces (not bulky ones, though, and certainly not 2 inch)

Those cases look very handy Jeremy. The contents look like the start of my one and only case these days, which is a Nag zoom, full set of BGOs, a 24mm Pan and a Baader VIP barlow. All bases covered (except for very widefield) in a very small case. Looks like you’ve got space for that :)

I've been putting together a 1.25" eyepiece set for my scopes which now consists of 24 Panoptic, 18.2 ,7 Delite, 14, 10, 6 Delos and 4 SLV. I'm very satisfied with this for the time being at least.

Which Ep should I replace for my Megrez90 ? Or are they fine?

I would probably add a widest field 2" eyepiece like a 41mm Panoptic, 40mm ES-68, or 40mm Maxvision.  Balance can be a challenge in a refractor with them, though.  After that, you might consider swapping out the 24mm Hyperion for a 24mm Panoptic and the 10mm Hyperion for either a 10mm Pentax XW or Delos.  I have the 10mm Delos and consider it to be near perfection across the field.
