Simply amazing work! I'm glad I missed it, it was fun to go through and see step by step the process you used to get the final product. How are the views with the Jaeger lens vs. a 4 inch Unitron lens. Does the Uni beat it, or vice versa, or too close to call? Thanks for posting.

[Re: akman1955]       #3425668 - 11/02/09 02:54 PM Edit   Reply   Quote Quick Reply   Hi Brian, I'll PM you by tonight with some plans to build one. I have pictures of 3 that I did build, and I built a complete case for my Orange Tube C5 this weekend, but with the foam, it was a smidge too small to fit the C5 , so I'm modifying it today, with an eyepiece holder inside and now it will hold my C90 Astro, with an area for eyepieces and diagonal. I made 2 of the eyepiece boxes and sent one each to 2 different CN members so I'll check with them to see if its ok for you to contact them to see what they think of their eyepiece cases. I can PM you the pictures of those later on this evening. Right now, I'm busy trying to get the eyepiece holder installed in it, so I can post pictures later this evening. I will PM you to your outside email account. I still haven't figured out how to send photos to the CN private mail area. I actually will have to modify my drawings because right now all the measurements are in my head, so I still have to put them on paper. Talk to you soon, Rich -------------------- artisticwoods C-14 Orange Tube, C-8, C-5, C-90 Astro Model, C8 Schmidt Camera 8" f1.5, C5.5 Schmidt Camera f1.65, SPI 42mm f/19 Refractor, Sears 90mm f/15.56 Ref, Sears 80mm f/15 Ref, Swift 77mm f/13 Model 831, Scope 60mm f/11.7, Sears 50mm f/12 Unitron Model 140 75mm/1200mm, Unitron model 128 60mm/900mm Post Extras:       Pages: 1 | 2 | 3 | (show all) Previous   Index   Next   Threaded   Extra information 9 registered and 6 anonymous users are browsing this forum.
