Hello,

I just got a big 2nd hand steel sheet trunk case for my 8" SW collapsible telescope and lined it with sound proofing eggshell foam. The case was sourced from a garage sale for $10 or so.

It sits on the back seat and provides extra padding when I go off-road chasing dark sky sites around the national parks camping sites. Plenty of room left over to store my eyepiece case and warm clothing pad it out from rattles and vibrations.

Ps. Its not a flashy item, but does the trick and doubles as a table when I am setup. While the box is a little bulky, I now just have my chair, base and box which reduces he trips back and forth to the car which is nice, and I
tend not to forget things as I used to do when I had heaps of separate items.

Pps. Have you tried astronomy-electronics-centre, they might be able to source a suitable case for you. They will handle postage/insurance etc at least.
