Good case - more reasonably priced as part of a scope package

Good case. Way overpriced when purchased alone, but reasonable when part of a scope package. Secure, with good padding, but not very adaptable... you may want to purchase more padding to adapt it to your needs.

Costly suitcase

Real pricey for a suitcase. Buy a large suitcase for your tube and save yourself some bucks.

Absolutely worth the investment!!!

Forget storing your expensive telescope in its original cardboard packaging... This case is extremely high quality and very durable. It makes transporting your telescope to observing locations much less of a chore with its multiple handles and roller-wheels. It even has storage for different accessories. Best of all, it’s custom fit. I use it to store my NexStar Evolution 8 EdgeHD, and I don’t even have to take the OTS off of the Evolution base. It is definitely worth the investment!
