Orion telescope bag for ~8" F5 Newtonian

Orion padded telescope bag. This was bought for my Celestron 8" F5 Newtonian for transportation, but I found that it did not fit in the boot of the car as it was too wide and too long. This should hold any scope of similar size, the bag tapers from one end to the other to give extra room at one end for the focusser etc. For further details you can have a look on the OrionTelescopes site. Overall length is approximately 1100mm x 300mm.

I think I paid about $120 at the time, asking $60 plus postage. If you live in Melbourne Metro, pickup would be much easier as the bag is pretty big.
