Telescope Travel Cases

Here are some of the hard travel cases I use in moving my telescope and its accessories, especially when travelling to remote observing sites. These are repurposed standard cases for audio equipment. The dimensions in length, width, and height are within the allowable limit for local air travel.

Modified Sky-Watcher Equinox 100ED on an improvised telescope hard case. I’ve customized the foam paddings using improvised nichrome hot-wire cutter. I also use egg crate shaped foam paddings from a local foam supplier. Recently, we went to a dark sky site with these hard cases protecting the telescope.
