Comments about Pelican Pelican 1650 Watertight Hard Case with Cubed Foam & Wheels - Charcoal Black:
I transport extremely valueable television equipment on a continuous basis. I wouldn't trust my equipment in other case. Pelican's lifetime warranty is beyond belief. When I had a couple of broken latches Pelican offered to replace the case at no charge. I opted to receive replacement latches. I received them the next day, with spares, and at no cost. They are just the best in every way. There's no better way to store and/or ship your equipment.

Comments about Pelican Pelican 1650 Watertight Hard Case with Cubed Foam & Wheels - Charcoal Black:
Use this case only if you want to protect what's important to you. This case is only limited to your imagination. The pelican 1650 will last a life time!

Comments about Pelican Pelican 1650 Watertight Hard Case with Cubed Foam & Wheels - Charcoal Black:
This is the case Celestron recommends for the C5+ optical tube plus single arm fork maount (what I have) and the C8 optical tube only. The case is "hell for stout" and I don't worry about my scope when it's in the case.
I now use the C5 OTA on an Orion SkyView Pro mount. The mount head and couterweight fit in the case along with my C5 OTA. It's a bit heavier than before, but still makes a reasonable package. To accommodate the new setup, I purchased a second foam set. I like the foam in the larger Pelican cases because it's much stiffer than what they (and other brands) put in their smaller cases.

Comments about Pelican Pelican 1650 Watertight Hard Case with Cubed Foam & Wheels - Charcoal Black:
I own a Celestron Nexstar 8i SCT astronomical telescope and wanted a sturdy case to give maximum protection for the telescope with a minimun amount of disassembly required to contain it for transportation. [...]The Pelican case has proved to be everything as advertised and just what I needed to safely and conveniently transport my scope whether for a short trip accoss town or hundreds of miles to distant dark locations for optimum viewing. The case is a bit heavy, but this would seem to be a given for those looking for the type of protection that it provides. Fortunately the smooth-rolling wheels greatly reduce the need to carry the case with the scope from place to place. In summary, I am very satisfied with this product with respect to function, quality of construction, and price. [...]
