Eyepiece caps??

This maybe a silly question but When you buy Eps you normally get a cover for the end you put into the scope and nothing for the eye end. Do I, can I, get something to cover the eye end, before I store in my new case with foam cut outs or don't worry?

Thanks
Barry

A lot of people don't bother. I have a heap of caps hanging around, I imagine others do as well. You can probably score some if you ask around.

Do cover them, even if storing in a case.

Buy a pack of goodies from these folks and you'll have all you need for life!!
