    Default Padded bag AD10



    What padded bag do you guys recommend for an Apertura AD10? I know of the Orion bags, but not sure which one I should consider. Is there an alternative online for someone on a budget?

    Might be making some trips the island municipality Culebra and the cheapest, best and fun way to get there is buy ferry boat and needed a good way to keep it safe and added ease of transporting it. There are truly dark skies, blue zone, and want to check out the views plus the beaches are beyond awesome There was an activity for the local astronomy society and couldn't go cause of the hassle of hauling the dob... The box + scope does not fit in my back seat and the seats do not fold down to have more space in the trunk, should've considered it when I bought the car :/

    Already ordered the strap-a-handle and they should be here tomorrow, but wanted some added protection.

    Thanks and clear skies

    Hi, have you thought about getting a military duffle bag, and lining the inside with a foam sleeping pad...? Here's one that might work here: Black Top Load Canvas Duffle Bag (30" x 50") 613902349919 | eBay

    Good luck in your search..

    Thanks! Something like that is what I was looking for I have an old comforter that I use to protect the OTA when I put it in the back seat, I'll use that as the lining. Or maybe get some cut in shaping foam and make a cut out for the OTA.

    I'll check out Ebay for the duffle bag and see if the seller ships to PR.
