Show me your eyepiece/accessories case, please.

[ArsoN]

Just recently got my GSO Plossl set from FLO. Really enjoying them so far, and I decided to put the battery pack/controller for my EQ5 motors in there too. Now I just want a bigger case to leave me some room for expansion, those big maplin cases are looking mighty tempting.

Another update from me with my eyepiece collection reaching near perfection for me.

The 9mm Circle T Abbé Ortho although an excellent EP will eventually be replaced with a 9mm T6 Nagler when one becomes available on the "for sale" board of SGL. (Missed one by an hour!)

The Baader Hyperion Aspheric 36mm has been relegated to its box ready for a possible sale at this weekends Peak Star Party and replaced with the hefty 35mm Panoptic instead. (Thanks Damo!)

In addition I have also picked up a SW 2" OIII filter which might get a bit of use with the aforementioned 35mm Pan.

Nice collection there, Mark.

[Damo636]

Lookin good Mark, i would love to get my hands on a 3-6mm zoom like yours but the astro pot is well and truly drained dry for the forseeable future , Might start dropping hints for Santa though

I just pick up a fantastic case. Go online and check out pelican cases. They have distributors worldwide. Very sturdy, strong locks, pick & pluck foam, choice of colors, and quite inexpensive.

[MjrTom]

Pelican cases are excellent. I have wanted to pick up a couple cases for photo kit.

They are near indestructible

Here is my effort, rather cramped in there with stuff packed on top of each other. Some recent purchases making a few items redundant so soon for those to be sold.

Rather hacked at the foam to accomodate the modded SPC900:rolleyes2:

I thought I would throw mine in needs to be thined out a bit to make room for a Pentax XW 30 then I think I should be at peace with my EP collection.

[John]

Great collection there Vince

Clearly a man with good taste in optics

[michael.h.f.wilkinson]

Nice set indeed.

Here's mine, I know there's only 2 eyepieces but I will be investing in a 32mm panaview and an 8mm best explorer along with a decent Barlow sometime soon

Time for the winter 2011 collection :

[Nexus 6]

looking like a great collection you have there Damo

what's next on the list?

[Damo636]

Cheers Alan. I have told the wife i will never need another eyepiece but didn't admit to the little voice in my head telling me i need a 20mm T5 Nagler to complete the collection

Here's my little collection.

Set of Orion "Sirius Plossl's" which have served me well since I got them about five years ago.

I really need to replace the foam in the case but can't find it anywhere so if anyone knows where to go could you please point me in the right direction!

Foam cut to size, suppliers of foam upholstery & packaging, foam mattresses, memory foam cushions

i will never need another eyepiece

if only that was true mate, no doubt a few new one's will be appearing from members over the next few months

is a nice resource seeing everyone's ep kits, I have shown a few people from the local astro society what we all use on SGL, has been great to see so many nice collections and has given a few ideas to some here as to what to upgrade to, based on the poster's signature.

That's some nice eyepieces you have there Damo

Well this is the last photo I am posting as after last weekends purchase of the 7mm Nagler T6 my dream EP collection has reached perfection.

Also added a few filters to the mix and also the diagonal for my 4" f/10 refractor also picked up at the weekend from Revs at PSP2011.

Well that's how I feel at the moment at least... well until I get the fat dob and then will have to make space for the Paracorr coma corrector

[Revs]

Glad it found a good home, Mark. That's quite a set ya got there now

[Damo636]

Perfection indeed Mark Every possible scenario is well and truly covered with that collection.

[rightguard]

mines just a tescos carrier bag, not even with end caps on

only one that cost me any money is a tmb II 5mm but tbh thats doing just fine chucked in there

[MjrTom]

Cheers guys

Its taken me a while to source some of these on the second hand market but glad now
