Ok guys I have a confession to make
, my LX no longer fits, the case shrunk when I washed it....
Only kidding, I recently fitted a
Feathertouch 10:1 focusser, which is slightly longer (around 20mm) than the original so I will now have to modify the case slightly (cut a small piece out of the indented end). I didn't realise as I hadn't packed it away since the mod. You'll just have to take my word that it fitted beautifully before the feathertouch was fitted. FWIW I've shown the fit of the bunnings case for the ED80 as well. he first image is the ED80 in the box, the second the box and lower foam, the third is the LX sitting in the box, with the standard focusser clearance is not an issue and the OTA centres nicely in the case with around 20mm clearance each side. The fourth is the additional foam to hold the OTO in place, note also the pllacement of the finderscope. There is plenty of room around the OTA to put other stuff should you so desire. I'll be modding the case at the weekend to accomodate the extra length of the
Feathertouch focusser, I'll post the results when finished. The box is very sturdy once clipped shut.
