Hi, I am new here. I have a Nexstar 11 GPS and am looking for a case besides the JMI. Does anyone have any other ideas? I thought about just getting a large cooler to put the OTA in with some padding but thats not what I really want to do. I know Pelican is a good company but I really have no idea. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
Andy

Hi

I have a CPC 1100 and I'm using the 50 gallon Stanley Mobile Tool Chest - just lined it with closed cell foam - works great and alot cheaper than the JMI solution

My advice? Reconsider the JMI. I've used one for damned near a decade and it has been one of my best purchases ever.
