Paul, very nice. Great job on the cases.

Here is my rustic solution - an old esky containing eyepiece case, bits container (batteries, headlamp, nuts for the mount, etc), accessory pouch (notebook, pens, allen keys), folder containing targets I'm after, MSA atlas volume of the RA hour, Pocket Sky Atlas, dew shield, binos, and new Argo Navis. I can toss my Ice In Space beanie and gloves in there when chilly.

Also, my lightweight table, and observing stool (the "Philiminator").

I swear Doug's observing chair pounced on me in the dark that night. It has been trained to stalk folks who are carrying eyepieces.

Only expensive eyepieces. It leaves me alone!

What don't I use? Barlows!

I actually own 3 of them (Meade & Televue in 1.25", GSO in 2") and I almost never, ever, ever use them! I don't like them - and I don't mean I don't like the ones I have, I just don't like any barlows apparently.

Probably my LP filter is the least used, it's mainly for visual observing and as I mainly image it tends to sit in my carry boxes a lot.

Where I do have a use for it is visual observing to the west when you are looking straight into the skyglow from Canberra.
