These look great

Peter,

are you able to do this as a flat-pack for shipping? If so, I'd be interested in one for my C14.

Many Thanks
Terry

Hi Terry, no, they come totally assembled. To try and make them a flat pack would be a real work of art, they are quite light, and need to be glued together. And finally covered with matt black vinyl. Given the size of your scope, freight would be an issue, and I suggest it would not be economical to try and send something this size to NZ. It is a real pain here in Aust, as Aust Post won't accept cartons over a certain size and one then has to use couriers.
I have appended an image of a box halfway through construction, and I think you will see why it is not viable to try and make them a flat pack for transportation.

G'day Peter, thinking about getting one of these for my 10" SkyWatcher Black Diamond reflector. Not sure what dimensions you need or if you've done them before and already have the info. How far down the tube does the lightbox sit? Wondering if it comes up to the finder mount and I'll have to look at how close my Telrad and focuser are mounted.

I'd be after the dimming version, and instead of a cigarette lighter plug would it be possible to get an RCA male connector instead? That way I can plug it into a spare 12V socket on my dew heater controller. How may amps does it draw? Assume not much.

Please PM me with price etc to Brisbane.

Tested mine out the other night. The dimmer worked a treat, the fit and finish is top notch. Well worth it. Thanks Peter.

Still doing these?

Peter,

Are you still making these?

I'm interested in a lightbox for an 80mm APO refractor (Apogee OrthoStar LOMO 80/480). Lens cap inside diameter as close as I can measure is 108mm.

Clear Skies,

Geoff

I'd like to order one of these for my TEC140. Let me know if you need dimensions, etc. I'm in Sydney.

Thanks!
