fo0 Posted April 24, 2010 Share Posted April 24, 2010 any plastic tub will do really i guess just find some foam padding, the diced stuff would be ideal so u don't need to cut to fit the EP's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bizibilder Posted April 24, 2010 Share Posted April 24, 2010 For a real cheapie - try an ice-cream tub with some carefully cut foam in to hold the eyepieces. If you're feeling posh then Maplins do "flight cases" with pick'n pluck foam for under £20 (often on offer at around £15!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stev74 Posted April 24, 2010 Share Posted April 24, 2010 The Maplin ones are ideal, this one is on offer now - Flight Case with Foam : Caravan & Camping : MaplinThis is how it looks with your EP's in it, this pic is a bit older I've now added a Tal 2x barlow, a 6mm Ortho and another filter!

Moonshane Posted April 24, 2010 Share Posted April 24, 2010 I'm a big fan of the Maplins case also. I bought two when they were last at £15. it's amazing what you can fit in and it keeps everything so tidy and in my view, more importantly, safe when in the dark. Take one thing out and put the other one back!here's what I did with mine. BTW I put my stuff in 'upside down' as they are then the upside up when the case is carried.also, the 2inch eyepiece/diagonal make use of the foam insert from the boxes (thanks to WO!).

LukeSkywatcher Posted April 24, 2010 Share Posted April 24, 2010 Best and easiest place to keep your EP's in in your coat pocket. Mke sure that you keep all the caps on so the lenses dont pick up loose threads from the pocket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
