Pragmatism or Sacrilege?

Replacing manufacturer-supplied eyepiece caps with something that is, in my opinion, much more sensible! Others may well say - "How could you!"

But, in particular, those 2" Televue caps were chewing up my pluck foam.

I'm yet to try these out in the field, but I'm hopeful they will be a delight to use. If I walk away from the scope, I usually leave the eyepiece in and want to cap it - and I want a cap that is easy to put on and remove. I think these will do the job.

I can highly recommend Gavin Warnes of http://www.eyepiececaps.net/servlet/StoreFront I had a problem with the my shipment and he immediately fixed the problem at his own expense, no questions asked! I'll have samples to give away at the next Snake Valley Starcamp, for those interested.
