What case / bag for RC6 ?


Recommended Posts

Looking for best case or bag for a RC6.
I have seen THIS one which looks okay and I think will just fit the scope with focusser attached, but if dimensions are to the outside of the bag then it will be close and I really do not want to remove the focusser at all. I just wondered what other RC owners use.

I've also got a 6 inch RC. I think the size is closer to an 8 inch SCT, which I've also had in the past. It's certainly a very generous 6 inch external dimension.

What about this.TS-Optics padded Carrying Case for SC RC MAK from 6" to 8" Aperture

it states RC6.

found it on another vendor site.

I guess you've got a bag for your RC6, now. But, for those viewing this thread later, I was in the same position as nothing seemed to be listed for that scope, so I settled on the one linked below for a 180mm MC, which has a nice section on the end for accessories. My RC6 fits perfectly with all the extension pieces and focuser on the OTA. I'm very happy with it.

Some good stuff on that website, I bet if those cases were sold as astro gear they would be at least 50% more 🙂

They even have star cloths for those cloudy nights! ;)

I  went for THIS cheaper one, which fits fine but the padding is a little shallow so may have to do something to bolster it up a bit.
So it works but your selection look a better bet, maybe I will buy one myself and use this one for something else.
