I'd just like to put a good word in for Peter's lightboxes.

They are beautifully constructed, weigh nothing, but, are rigid and strong.

He made one for my FSQ-106N. Unfortunately, I haven't had a chance to use it, yet. But, if it works as good as it looks, it'll be a ripper!

If I ever get another scope, I'll be coming back for more.

Thanks, Peter.

I have a lightbox built for a FSQ106ED. It was built for a guy here who has not picked it up. I have lost his contact details, so I will put it up for sale at the same price $140.00 plus postage if outside Adelaide.
I have not heard from the guy for about 6 months, so he has either left the planet or does not want the box any more.

Cheers

Peter

I think I might have to start building a few spares of this light box, it is very popular.

The light box for a FSQ106ED is still available for anyone interested. It has been sitting on my bench now for several months, the guy I made it for seems to have done a runner.

I am still making them for anyone interested. I limit size to 10" outside Adelaide as freight becomes a big issue above 10", couriers tend to be a huge ripoff.

I seen these at Snake Valley camp in November they look awsome Pete (but i had a bit of a blonde moment) which made Douggie and Darren laugh i thought they were called light boxes because they were light/not heavy
Until i seen a little light switch on them arrh a light box

Just received my version for my 8" dob. Packing was excellent, no damage at all.
Looks extremely well made, was heading out to give it a test but the boss showed up and dragged me off to a meeting

Will try tonight

cheers

I've just recently picked up one from Peter with adjustable brightness. Beautifully made, very compact and light and works well. I'd highly recommend them. Unfortunately I've just bought a new scope so will need to sell it and order another.

Just for info, as Graeme mentioned, I can now fit a dimmer on new light boxes for those that have issues with CCD camera exposure times and flats..

Stuart (Beren), I can't send you any more emails as your inbox is full mate, I have the banking details you need for the light box you ordered.

Cheers

Peter
