Show me your eyepiece/accessories case, please.

[Pig]

Lookin good, Shaun. Smokin!

Cheers  Gordon   I only need the 30mm  but I cant find anyone that will part with one.

Seriously nice glass Shaun

Thank you Chris

You've got the works there Shaun

I understand that the barlow provides a variety of amplification depending on the spacers you use. With the Leica zoom it gives virtually a complete eyepiece set. You can therefore send me the Pentax XW 7mm through 20mm 

Thank you John, I guess I best sell the Barlow

Lovely case Shaun. I should be getting a 5mm XW to add to my XW7 and XW10 shortly. Gorgeous EPs. Can't really make a case for getting a 14mm and a 20mm, let alone a 3.5mm (yet )

Thank you Michael  It is a tough choice, the 3.5mm is great for Lunar in my Esprit and selling the 2.5mm SLV paid for half of it

Done some rejigging what with the arrival of two big hitters: the Pentax XW5 and the Baader Morpheus 14mm. Still the same case, still with some dangerous empty space. The contents are now:

Vixen LVW 42mm, Nagler 31T5, Nagler 22T4,

Nagler 17T4, Morpheus 14mm, Nagler 12T4,

Pentax XW10, Delos 8mm, Pentax XW7, MaxVision 24mm 68° (to be moved to travel set),

Pentax XW5

To the right are two filters (moon and H-beta), an Orion Amici prism (2"), and a Denkmeier Filter-Switch diagonal.

Nice set Michael

I've gone for a minimalist approach here. Maxvision 24mm 68, Celestron 8-24 zoom, TAL 6.3mm plossl, moon filter and a freebie red light torch from somewhere. Around £100 for the lot including the case

That is close to my ultra-lightweight travel set: MV 68deg 24mm for wide field, WO Zoom-II 7.5-22.5mm and Vixen SLV 5mm.. Bit more expensive, though

Do you have lightweight and mediumweight travel sets as well Michael ?

No, it's either ultra skinny, or obese

2015 version.

Had to succumb and get a Maplins case due to the new additions of the Delites my wooden case was has been outgrown.

 Will get round to making a nice wooden case for these eventually but this will do for now.

Nice. And neatly done.

Nice Phil, your case is growing and mine is shrinking, i am in the process of slimming down my astro gear, going back to my smaller EP case

[philj]

Yeah I noticed Jules. Im after clearing some as well, I have a load of TMB planetaries which I haven't used in yonks. I shall get round to advertising them some day soon

I currently have 3 cases, some have to go

I really like this tip by L8-Nite: http://stargazerslounge.com/topic/254918-custom-made-eyepiece-case/#entry2781119

It teaches how you can use empty spray cans to make holes of the right size  in foam.

Wonderful, simple and effective!

I suppose you have to make sure that the cans are really empty before you do this.

Thanks to everyone who shows their eyepiece cases here. I visit regularly to have a look at them. Wouldn't want to miss any!

Neat case of LVWs PhilJ

[Mark at Beaufort]

Phil that is nice range of EPs. How are finding the new TeleVue DeLite EPs?

Love them Mark. I was out for an hour last night doing a few doubkes before the moon got too high and the cloud came in and I found I was using the TVs over the lvws but I think thats because of the newness of the tvs more than quality.

I like the fov in the delites and its a true to the edge of field view. I still think the lvws are excellent though

[Moonshane]

My case only has five in it for now - recently reduced from 11. Currently 26 Nagler t5, 24 Panoptic, 17.3 Delos, 16 Nagler t5 (this may also be on the block as I think a 14 Delos might be a better bet) plus a 6-3mm Nagler zoom.

Thankfully DRT (Derek) is feeding me two DeLites (7 & 11) to fill the gap :0)

Low mileage ones too !

Looks like I'll be the only one on the forum who still uses hyper wide eyepieces at this rate

Don't worry John, I'm still committed to the cause [emoji3]

[Moonshane]

Indeed John I expect they will be as new. D certainly looks after his kit. I am finding that observing comfort is claiming increasing importance. Must be getting old!

Which is why I've offloaded those little narrow things to Shane

[Moonshane]

Yes and I was........sorry.........DeLited you did!

There are still some in the same camp with you John

[michael.h.f.wilkinson]

I still have my Naglers, and they are only going to be replaced by something WIDER (Nikon NAV HW, or ES 92°)

you have seemingly good taste Michael

[Moonshane]

Mine is looking a bit more full again now! Just a 14mm and 8mm Delos to go and likely to sell the 16mm t5 that I have only recently bought as I feel it's an unnecessary addition.
