    I repurposed an old mummy sleeping bag for my 10" Dob. Works like a champ. You could find one at a thrift store or Craigslist.

    Hi Robin - I've noticed for 20 years that carrying bags specific to telescopes are always ouchie.  That's how I got into making and customizing my own.  If you can scrounge some time out of life's hectics, plus a little foam and waterproof canvas and a zipper, this one looks pretty easy.  Might need some tough sewing needles, whether you do it by hand or by machine.  I believe Grumps uses golf cases too, if you can find one the right size.  I usually look around everywhere before I find the perfect thing, then am eternally glad when I do.

    I need this, or something like it, for my 8" Dobsonian, and it's 89.99 on Amazon right now, which is a little too ouchie for me. If anyone has an old one that's not being used anymore, I'd gleefully take it off your hands for somewhat less than that.

    Thanks, y'all!

    Robin
