Eyepiece covers?

[oymd]

Good morning everyone

Where can I find those eyepiece end caps?

I'm looking for both the transparent and opaque ones that fit to either end? For 1.25”

cant seem to find them online?

thanks.

And for the other end the tops from plastic milk bottles fit many 1.25” eyepieces.

A set of the end caps on eBay only £6.12 but £11.10 postage. Bit lower price if ordered from Amazon.com with shipping to UK.

Can you please point me in the direction of one? Also looking for those WHITE plugs that sit INSIDE the eyepiece and are locked in place with the thumbscrews?

Thanks

Here you go. Amazon is cheaper than eBay as shipping is so much cheaper.

Crazy price if ordered from Amazon UK

If ordered from Amazon.com the goods get delivered by Amazon in the UK just like any regular Amazon delivery. Just takes a few days longer and no customs to bother with as it’s all handled by Amazon. Painless. 👍🏻

I didn't know that?!

Some things they won’t ship to the UK but if they do it clearly shows that it can be shipped to the UK.

Have bought a number of little items from Amazon.com when I couldn’t find them here or they were cheaper.

First Light Optics sell 1.25" and 2" nosepiece caps and 1.25" and 2.0" plugs under the Astro Essentials brand, but no eyepiece covers by the looks of it.
