Humanoido has adapted a multi tier tool box for use as a powerful portable astro imaging eyepiece carry-all.
Move this adapted toolbox and place it next to the telescope at the observing site and instantly have access to every accessory needed.
sessions with the Celestron Nexstar 6 SE, the box is now equipped with a large assortment of eyepieces, barlows, focal reducers, CMOS imaging camera, atmospheric dispersion corrector, flip mirror, illuminated reticle, tripod, wifi adapter, and other necessities. Other things to be added in the future include cables and filters.

To construct the Astro Imaging Accessory Eyepiece Box, a Treny toolbox was purchased without the tools. The simple modification included buying and cutting foam to cushion the floor of all the compartments. The only items used were a scissors and a black marking pen. The foam is already scored with many small subfacets for easy straight line trimming with a scissors. Just mark the length and width for each compartment.

I loaded up the tool box to the hilt with every useful accessory I could think of for the night's observing session with the new Celestron Nexstar 6 SE. The loaded box was strong to support the weight and carrying it was convenient and not too heavy. It's reassuring to know nothing is left behind and accessory changes no longer include the previous hunt and peck to find what you're looking for. Stay organized! When not observing, the accessory box sets onto a single shelf.
