Organising equipment for transport

My in laws have moved up to the country, and as such when we visit I get to set up in a darker site.

So today was a slow Saturday and I thought of ways to pack my astro gear for when I will be transporting it.

A trip to the tool shop and a bit of outside the box thinking got me this.

Bought one of these:

Put some accessories in the drawers.

Put the laptop and some leads in the top part (this needs cleaning up):

Got a hard case on wheels with a handle to transport the AZ-EQ6 around. Modified the original packaging to fit.

Used the pluck foam in the hard case above to pack out a plastic tub for the ED80:

Then found a Christmas tree tub to carry around the 8" newt.

And finally, a pelican type case to put the camera gear in (did this one a little while ago):
