I am looking for a storage case/bag for Takahashi FS102.
Doesn't have to be a Tak one, just something to allow safe storage.
Ideas on how to make one also welcome.
Cheers

I built a timber box for mine - 6 or 8mm ply, I can't remember which. It's reasonable light.
I leave it inside the rings, attached to the losmandy D plate. This keeps it upright and I wrap the whole thing up in a large towel. Doesn't slide around inside the box.
Best thing is that I can leave the finder scope attached inside the box. One less thing to do when setting up - it holds alignment quite well.

Mine is in an aluminium skywatcher case. I think it was for an ed120.

This is a homemade plywood box. It is 6mm ply with 19mm cross bearers. The cross bearers are felt lined. The paint is water based house paint.
