Eyepiece Box

Still a bit ough but here is my latest effort. Box is designed to keep organised my burgeoning collection of EPs while keeping them closew to hand a nd off by observing table. The tray in the box is removeable so I can put a heater in there and I am going to add a red light and a couple of clips to hold charts to the top.

Excellent. Way to go! Yes, add that heater - great for the finger tips on a cold night, as well as the eyepieces.
