Nice to see them in their own case; they deserve it. :headbang:

Did you replace the bottom caps? Mine came with black ones.

Hmm, I don't remember. I think they came like this, but don't know it for sure...

Here is my minimalist set, also posted in "2 eyepieces plus barlow = all I need ?", although it's about to be complimented with a couple of bgo's.

I guess I' ll have to get myself a bigger case, or a second one like this.

The bgo's have arrived, so has an ES 24/68. All of these plus finder, eaa cams, adapters, camera, 2" diagonal, filters and cables where in desperate need of a new case, so here it is...

Did you layer things on top of each other?  How are you going to get to various bits and pieces that aren't in the top layer in the dark while observing?

The eyepieces and diagonal are on top, so are the three bgo's that are revealed as the finder with the hexafoc spacers are the first things that comes out of the case to be mounted on the scope.

The two orange cases at the bottom layer carry two M42 lenses, three eaa cams, their cables, power supply, and their spacers, because they don't get used all the time.

So unless I go for eaa, everything I need is flush mounted. :bino2:

I like the top handles on those. What make?

For larger eps & Paracorr I use a camera bag and put each ep etc in a suitably sized lens pouch. Keeps them snug & safe.

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)

The arrival of the 9mm yesterday fills the gap nicely, and i'm done :D  (for now.... ;) )

So add it to your sig!!:hello2:

How do you like your 9mm? Are you tempted by the new 17.5mm?:grin:

I've got an old small ali case which just happens to fit my newly acquired set of Parks Gold Japanese Pseudo-Masuyamas quite nicely..

I also have an incoming 3.8mm which should arrive any time now, so I'll have 7 of the possible 9 variants in this line: 3.8, 7.5, 10, 15, 20, 25, and 30mm:smiley:

Oh yeah, best do that :)

I haven't had an opportunity yet, only really had two clear nights since I got it and couldn't get out.

I don't currently feel there is a gap that needs filling between the 14 and 24, so I have no plans to get the 17.5 - but time will tell :D

A classic set of optics Dave, and I see you managed to find some eye guards.

Fantastic set of eyepieces Dave. And it takes me back to 2004 when I had a set of Orion Ultrascopic (rebadged Parks Gold) eyepieces. Loved those eyepieces so much. So sharp and contrasty. Regretted selling them.

Hi Steve,

Yes, I bought a pair from Robtics in Holland (£22 for a pair shipped!:eek::eek:), and I was very fortunate to be gifted 3 very kindly by MikeDknight, one of which was large enough to fit on the 30mm, which is a lovely eyepiece :headbang:.

Just need to find one or two more now but at least I can swap them around if need be..

Thanks Russ. Yes, spot on. I think these are very early Parks ones, maybe even dating from the 1980s..

Looking forward to a proper first light before long..

For a variety of reasons I have had to let all of my TV eyepieces go and have replaced them with this set. From the research I've done my refractors should deal with these well but I'll have to put up with a few issues in my F4 Dob. 

The space top right is reserved for the matching Barlow if one comes up second hand.

Have you considered a coma corrector? GSO make a reasonably priced one.
