Good suggestions all, Daniel. My go box is a Ute backpack (must be a pun in there somewhere). All my necessories, including batteries for the red light & a small tool kit are in it. Only thing missing is my CCD camera, and someone we all know and love has it. My lens case has compass & level as well as assorted filters. It is just my memory that is missing. I do have an extra Radio Shack female plug to power the scope. Need to make up a spare cord and keep in the 'pack. I also carry 2 diagonals with me, but have never had to help someone yet. Greg has bailed me out a couple of times as he carries an extra power cord for the Celestrons. I carry my books & charts in a separate canvas bag. Not everything is together, but then Tarzan I am not, so need lighter parcels. 73, lh On 9/18/2012 5:30 PM, daniel turner wrote:
