Includes four latches (two lockable), three steel-reinforced handles, a 2″ by 26″ steel hinge and die-cut foam lining with compartments for telescope, eyepieces, finder scope and accessories.  The finder scope must be removed from the telescope and placed in a foam compartment.  A soft bag is included for hand unit protection.  The case can be carried or pulled using the attached wheels An optional Large-Wheel Upgrade is available.

Compatible with:

Celestron (Single Fork Arm) NexStar 8 / 8i / 8 SE / 8i SE (Special Edition) (may include optional GPS accessory)

Meade LX50 8″, LX90 8″, LX90-ACF 8″*, LX90GPS 8″, LX100 8″, LX200 8″ (non-GPS), LX200-ACF 8″, LX200GPS 8″, LX200R 8″

Note: When using this case for the Meade LX90, the LNT Module and SmartFinder must be removed and stored in the case.  A quick-release bracket is included for instant accurate re-positioning when attaching the LNT Module (this bracket can be used for other finders also).

* Beginning in 2013, Meade modified the LX90 ACF & SC Telescopes so that they could no longer be positioned with the optical tube pointing straight down between the forks.  The tube can only be stored in the nose-up position.  This makes it more difficult to transport and also makes it incompatible with any JMI Carrying Case.  The telescope was re-designed sometime in the fall of 2014.  At this time we have no plans to produce a case for the nose-up-storage design.
