WANTED: Scope case for Saxon ED80 & accessories

yagon · #1 02-03-2006, 03:42 PM

I'm looking for a case for my new Saxon ED80. Anything that will offer some protection for transport and easy storage. Ideally with space for EPs etc.

PS. I can't post this in the buy/trade/sell forum because I haven't been a member for a month yet.

i am happy to buy second hand if someone wants to get rid of an old case

Actually I built one from a tool box from Bunnings.

Basically a galv steel toolbox which you put a divider in, will hold the scope in half and the other half is good for tripod, or other parts. You need to spend about $50-60 to do it but it works fine, with the sole exception that the steel heats up in the Sun so you want to paint it or cover it in something. I did put in pics in the DIY section about a month ago.

thanks - I'll probably chase up the skywatcher case - it looks pretty good

Glad I could help yagon. When you speak to Steve, ask him if he has prices on EQ6 cases yet?
