Default What's in Your Eyepiece Case

Just to fllow on from the scope show and tell. Thought I might kick of the eyepiece show and tell. So here goes my time to show off.

My favourites:-
University Optics 7mm Ortho
Kokusai Kohki ABBE 12.5mm Ortho (this guy makes University, antaries and meade orthos)
Kokusai Kohki Erfle 16mm
Seben Zoom 8mm-22mm (this is one fantastic eyepiece, a real gem if you can find one. Usually from sebens ebay store)

Others in Case:-
Celestron Omni 15mm and 9mm
GSO super plossyl 20mm and 6mm
GSO ED 21mm
GSO projection 2" 30mm
GSO Super View 80 degree 10mm
GSO 2x and 3x ED Barlows
Some assortment of generic chinese plossyls and kelners I take in a seperate case for school nights - these ones are great because I dont care about them gettting little fingers on them.

Seben 0III filter
TI Tech HB Filter
Baader UHC-S filter
Baader Moon and Skyglow neodymium
and a varied assortment of color filters.

I have all of the Orion Expanse oculars, a 4mm Plossl, and a 40mm Celestron Plossl that I'm currently trading for a 32mm. I also have a 26mm Meade Super Plossl, which I am trying to sell, and a plastic barrel Meade 9mm MA, as well as a 25mm one which is falling apart completely. A very humble collection.

I recently sold a few of my eyepieces since they weren't getting used, so I"ve slimmed down my collection:

Orion Stratus 30mm (2")
Vixen lanthanum super wide 17mm (2")
Orion ED-2 25mm and 9.5mm
Orion lanthanum 7.5mm
Orion optilux 2X barlow
Moon filter

I use the 30mm and 17mm the most. I should have kept the Sirius eyepeices that shipped with my XT10, they'd be great 'kid' eyepeices.

All Orions:

21, 17, 5mm Stratus
25, 10mm Sirius Ploessl
17, 12.5, 10mm Highlight Ploessl
Shorty 2x Barlow
Ultrascopic 2x Barlow
Moon filter
Color filters
Skyglow, Ultrablock, and OIII filters

My favorites are the 21 and 5mm Strati and the Ultrascopic Barlow, while the Ploessls and the Shorty Barlow are good for the kids.
