Celestron 94003 Deluxe Carry Case for 4, 5, 6 and 8 inch NexStar SE,Evolution,EdgeHD,Schmidt-Cassegrain Optical Tubes, Black

I bought this for my wife's NexStar evolution 8in, the case is a perfect fit with thick (approx 30mm) padding all round and a strap for additional security, the lid has an inner zipped compartment with pockets for eyepieces etc and with wheels it makes moving what is a heavy telescope a lot easier. It's not cheap but when you consider the value of the telescope it protects it's worth it.

I bought this case for my NexStar 8se. It doesn't have enough room for the computerized mount, however the OTA fits perfectly. The other side of the case has ample room for all of the accessories that came with my scope (star diagonal, accessory tray, eyepiece, finderscope etc.) so it keeps everything you need for travel. Although it is quite pricey for what you get, it's worth it for keeping your scope and essentials safe; DEFINITE recommendation.

Plenty of room inside for a telescope OTA and some accessories (depending on size).Excellent all-around padding, however the pouch which holds the accessories may rub against the OTA so use with care.As usual with Celestron accessories, a bit overpriced, would be better value at 50-70% of the current price.

For well in excess of £500, I expected to find a completely moulded foam inlay which the scope sits in, instead I got a well padded case with 2 cushions, (which are not relevant for my 8SE) and a restraining strap; however, the case is sturdy and well padded. Had I have known what I was getting I would not have bought this, it is at a grossly inflated price and should be offered at £300 - 350 max. As stated previously, not value for money.Pat West Midlands

Bit pricey, but you get what you pay for. This is a fantastic storage case for scope and accessories.

Thanks

Got this for my Celestron NexStar 8SE. I must say the case is all well cushioned all around. See the pic with the lid open. You can see how thick the foam padding around it is. Then the zipped away bit has 2 separate pockets with the flap covers (that have sticky stuff on them. Forgot what they are called lol) have pretty deep separate sections (with no padding inbetween). Between the 2 pockets as you can see there is empty space that you can use to store away some other stuff in their own cases. That all said, I must point out that the pull bar is very basic with no height adjustability. But considering I'm just a beginner who has insufficient knowledge to pad up an old travel bag to do the same job as this bag and that the Celestron NexStar 8SE is not really a cheap telescope, investing in a professionally made case like this is a safe way to go. Plus its all ready for travel at anytime :-)

This is apparently a case for the Evolution 6. It is not. It only fits the Nexstar 6. Do not buy for the Evolution series.
