Carry bag/case advice?

[Bryan_D]

Can anyone offer any advice on a carry bag or case for a Skyhawk 1145p?

Oklop and Cobra are two brands that I’ve looked at so far and I wondered if anyone had any particular preferences or recommendations from their experience, or also any other brands or makes I could look at?

Ideally, I’d like to be able to transport the tube and EQ1 mount and tripod in one bag/case.

Any suggestions?

I'm pretty sure Orion has large 3ft and 4ft bag. The tripod is ok in the 3ft bag but I would  put the ota in a better case.

If u put everything in those type bags you will probably need to collimate it everytime. 

It wouldn't be too secure in there as the padding isn't to thich but it's ok for the tripod mount and weight

I would just find a sturdy duffel bag of sufficient size to hold the OTA and accessories, plus bubble wrap around everything.  I did that for my daughter's 127 Mak so she can take it camping and not look expensive in the open back of an SUV like a flight case would.

For the tripod and mount, I got her a Gator bag.  They are very sturdy.  You might want to bubble wrap the mount, but I wouldn't bother with the legs.
