Show me your eyepiece/accessories case, please.

[Voongy]

I have that scope and have just bought a Celestron X-Cel LX 12mm, what a difference to the standard eyepieces. I highly recommend

Here's my EP case right now, I have another EP on the way and soon, an LP filter.

Currently in the case is a Canon and Nikon T-Adapter (on the right) ,Celestron O-III Filter (bottom leftish), Orion Set of 4 Color Filters, Orion H-Beta Filter (Birthday Present!), Orion .965"-to-1.25" adapter, Meade Series 4000 26mm EP, Orion Sirius Plossl 10mm EP, Kellner 25mm EP and other stuff.

OK, latest incarnation of EP case and case for planetary photography stuff. New in the EP case are the two Pentax XWs. The Paragon 40mm has gone (sold), and the Radian 10mm has been banished. The other case has a TV PowerMate 2.5x added, to reach F/25 for planetsary imaging.

Lookin' good Michael :-)

[michael.h.f.wilkinson]

Yeah, I keep telling myself, this is the final configuration, but then I have said that many times before

[E621Keith]

Beautiful collection Michael, but looks like there is a room in the barlow case for a 5XW.

Time for an update as things have evolved since post 865:

The 20mm SW Plossl is just for scale!

Lots of nice glass in there Russell

Trouble is, with the size of these wide / ultra wide eyepieces, you soon run out of room !

[russ.will]

Indeed. Have a look at post 865 which was a much smaller case, not that long ago. That now gets used for handsets, mains adaptors, torches, cables, etc, etc.

Yep. I must get a 2nd case too. My higher power eyepieces have nowhere to live at the moment.

[estwing]

a new case needs filling!!!!

[Mike73]

I mentioned to the wife that I need a bigger EP case..... BIG mistake!

[Tinker1947]

Final Update, well i think i have what i want and the next Scope will be a Dob they will work in both....

[RikM]

The 30mm XW is bigger than I expected.

23.7 Ounces worth...without the end caps....

[michael.h.f.wilkinson]

Final update? Now where have I heard that before?

Nice set of EPs, BTW. Is the 31mm Hyperion not a bit redundant, as you have a Pentax XW30?

[Tinker1947]

It is, i only received the XW 30 this morning so when we get some clear skys will run a comparison, and maybe stick it in the "For Sale" section....

I just piced up one of these:

I have my 2 eyepieces (steady now!), webcam, cheshire, filters, red torch, and still have over half of the foam area left. It also fits a copy of TLAO and phillips pocket star atlas in too. Which is nice!

Troulb eis I am going to have to do some shopping to fill it now!

[Mr Spock]

I know, I keep saying it's final, but...

Some seriously impressive glass in there mate :-)

[michael.h.f.wilkinson]

That's a very nice Radian you've got there . The is not to be sniffed at either.

A thousand words and so on...

I underestimated how much free space I had!

[John]

There are some great eyepiece / accessory collections here and it's fascinating watching them evolve over time

I expect this to be my final update (really !). I've still got to squeeze the poor little Nirvana 4mm in somewhere - it's a great little eyepiece though and 225x is extremely useful with the ED120, so it thoroughly earns it's place

[alan potts]

John,

Just class! just class!

At the moment I have a cabitnet to keep my eyepieces it, this is why I want to get rid of some but no one seems to like what I have. Maybe everone is short of money.
