Eyepiece Caddy


 

Eyepiece Caddy

  1. The "Caddy" is constructed "around" the pier. There is no contact for vibration free use.
  2. The "Caddy" is octagonal in shape.
  3. It was constructed as two halves held tightly together with table locks.
  4. The top shelf of the "Caddy" has large holes for the storage of most used eyepieces. This allows for an easy selection of an eyepiece.
  5. Also on the top shelf are drink coasters (for placing your favorite libation) and a telephone.
  6. Attached to the outside octagonal ring are miniature moveable platforms. These include
    1. mobile hooks for hanging the observatory remote control, Pier-Tech controller, and/or the telescope motion control hand paddle/joystick;
    2. mobile shelves for placing odds and ends;
    3. mobile eyepiece holder for the Coronado SolarMax II 60 - Double Stack telescope; and a
    4. mobile tray for the Powermate (for example). Attached via velcro under the mobile tray is an 8 outlet surge protector for power close to the telescope.
  7. The next shelf of the "Caddy" holds reference books and a musical system (CD, radio and iPod).
  8. The shelf below that is for the power supply and serves as a collection point for power blocks.
  9. And finally, running through the "south" side of the "Caddy" is a hole that allows the wires connected to the Paramount ME to effortlessly ride up and down as the Pier-Tech 3 lifts and lowers the telescope assembly.
