Eyepiece Box

I had a nice new one made, so this is surplus.

Yes, it looks pretty beatup, but just needs a little lovin' to improve my paint job.

I mounted it on a frame off the base of my 12" Bintel dob, dropped a heater strap into the bottom, and filled it with my working eyepieces. No more walk away from the scope to change eyepieces and no more fogged up eyepieces.

See http://www.iceinspace.com.au/forum/s...ad.php?t=33500

Oh, yes - a couple of bolts there that will screw into captive nuts in the bottom of the box, so you can mount it on a steel bar. Rubber feet as well for when you want to stand it on a table.

How about $20. Pickup only in Melbourne. Either from Bundoora during the day, or I could drop off early evening close to my route (Bundoora to Bacchus Marsh, around Ring Road and out the Western Highway.)

PM me please.
