Replacement soft rubber eyeguards

[byronpaul (Paul)]

Hi,

does anybody know where to get replacement eyeguards for 1.25" Plossl type eyepieces?

Looks like most Plossl eyepieces from GSO, Meade, Celestron, etc, all have the same eyeguard, but knowbody seems to sell replacements.

Following link illustrates what they look like:

I can only find these ones which look "crap" and don't fit in my eyepiece case:

Surely the OEM type ones can be purchased from somewhere

Thanks

Be a little surprised if you can get them locally - have you tried Andrews?
Agena Astro do some, not clear whether they would suit though. Someone else like scopestuff might also be able to supply what you're after too.

Yes, tried Andrews. Luke got back to me and said that don't have them .... would let me know if he happened to come across some.

agenaastro or scopestuff may be the only avenue

Is this what you're after? http://www.bintelshop.com.au/welcome.htm
Bintel will post

Edit: Just noticed that that link doesn't take you straight to the page I wanted you to see. Click on eyepieces on left of page, then go to page 4.

Suzy,

yeah I know about those https://www.bintelshop.com.au/Images/Stock/6491X.jpg


But they are big and bulky, and will get squashed in my eyepiece case.

Edmund Optics also sell rubber eyeguards: http://www.edmundoptics.com/onlineca...productID=2064
