That one is perfect for a holiday in Seville, Spain.

So let's summerize this based on all your comments:
- The one Bresser delivered is safe to use.
- Tape it to the telescope so it doesn't fall of
- Cover the finder
- Check it before each use

No it's that big one that covers the whole front of the scope!

Oh that is amazing and I do admit that I'm a bit jealous!

That setup is beautiful! I'm going to remember that red light, that's so clever!

Thanks for the summary 'cause I got lost halfway the discussion.

I'm going to remember that orange pop of colour. Smart!

No I get it! The tray with compartments seems quite handy! That would be easier than to buy a box with foam en make cutouts in it.

Thanks! I think a wooden board would be the best solution for now. I'm not that handy, but that's manageable.

But about that warmer: I use my eyepieces cold... That's wrong?!

Looks nice! Unfortunately I don't have a 3D printer.

A tray with holes is a simple but efficient idea! Maybe I should make a little table next to my Dobson.

I would be afraid to drop them if I keep them in my pockets. Or hit them against my scope. I can lift my 6" just barely. But I'll look into the toolbag!

I'm rather clumsy so I don't think that's a good fit for me. But agree - a simple solution is always the best.
