Show me your eyepiece/accessories case, please.

I wonder if leegsi is aware of the legacy he has left behind? 2150 posts and still going.

Should rename the topic title to "Leegsi Legacy "

Maplins large, high impact case. Cost is £50.

I keep my Tele-vue glass, and bino gear in it.

All that and Peak District skies too? Life's not fair.

very nice set up.love this thread

When telling the wife / girlfriend the price of things apply the correct currency conversion.

I use  the standard astro price conversion of £ to WifePounds.

Currently this is about 1 : 0.65  but goes up and down depending on her mood.   

Being in the euro zone, I just use the EUR : GBP. Doesn't require any calculation, just say you paid 10 euro when it was 10 quid. Regarding the SWIMBO radar, I still don't know how I slipped the Solar Spectrum H-alpha filter + ERF + Baader TZ-4 telecentric + Vixen Ortho under the radar. Not exactly small kit, and came in a new case too

Maybe you accidentally looking at some shinny shoes when you took in the package?

or handbags

I let the courier drop the package off at a nearby camera store, and picked that up when the missus was away. That was simply cunning, but the appearance of an entire new alu case should have raised eyebrows. When I set it up she should have noticed subtle differences in the solar set-up too. No matter, the opportunity to scowl at the new purchase has been and gone, so now I have had the new set-up for AGES

I have now managed to put my most used eyepieces into one case.

The Binoviewers and related eyepieces have their own case but these don't get much use these days.

Very nice set

[Floater]

A lovely, busy-looking case.

Maximum use of space and an evident desire to craft even fractions of the centimetre cubes! A brave man indeed, Avtar ...

Well done, sir.

[Chris]

It's amazing how quickly eyepieces accumulate once your imaging equipment has sold. I've had the ES100 case a while now but most of the 1.25" case has appeared over the last couple of months!

Old 24 Panoptic has found a new home.
I promise to use it far more often that the previous owner, and it's in a good company.
My collection is complete(for now)

2" now in new case and 1.25" plus filters not used anymore really...

Not the range some people have but certainly works well for me at the moment.

Finally ditching the shoebox! Got a number of astronomy camping trips lined up and knew that everything needed more protection and to be sealed from dust. Found this case with a gasket around the lid. Planning to use the middle for solar filters.

thats a great looking box

[Fozzie]

Not posted mine for a while, some succinct changes in here.. and room for the 24mm ExSci 82 later in the year, maybe upgrade to 2" Filters too.

8mm - 32mm TV plossl, 6mm & 9mm SLV, 4.7mm, 11mm, 14mm, 18mm and 2x FE ExSci 82

Revelation 15, 20, 32mm & 2.5 Barlow which I use when my friends and family's kids are around, incase of sticky little finger marks.. 

[Floater]

That's a busy looking case, Fozzie. And still a bit of space left ...

[Fozzie]

Thanks Gordon, I've actually just bought another to put my finders & diagonals in... no doubt there will be some space left in that too

[DRT]

I have now found a use for a very nice wooden wine bottle box that has been sitting around doing nothing for a year or two.

This is my new case for the accessories for my Polarex-Unitron 60mm f/15 refractor...

Here is the specification of the eyepieces taken from an old user manual I found online.

The item in the bottom right hand corner is the Achromatic Amplifier, which is a 2x Barlow that slips into the nose of the diagonal.

It seems that the 25mm stock eyepiece has been lost

[Tonynexevo925]

Great idea - lots of port cases that could serve the same purpose - now I'll need to find things to fill them with - oh no!!

[alan potts]

They knew how to make boxes back then Derek. I know it counts for nothing as to regards the optics but i don't think you can beat a good looking wooden box. Not that there is anything wrong with it but now it's all plastic and velcro.

I do have one very nice ali case that my son has his Lego in, it would cost a few quid i am sure, it was given to me by an old friend, I am told it is made from a wing of a crashed aircraft though I don't actually believe that. Strong though it is i don't have any liners for it now.

Alan.

...and here is the current collection in the main case...

TV 8, 15 and 32mm Plossls and Baader 6, 10 and 18mm Classic Orthos added since my last update.
