When we transport expensive equipment, cases are nice to protect them from the bumps and bruises. However, there is no commercial case for the Celestron CPC 11" EdgeHD. In this video, I show how I adapted a Dewalt tool box to a telescope case.

I wanted to thank you for making this video! On your recommendation I bought two 63 gallon DeWalt boxes. One I use for my CPC 925 XLT and the other for my CPC 1100 Edge HD. What I discovered after packing my OTAs is that you can secure the tripod on the top where the aluminum tray fits exactly into the grooves on top of the DeWalt case. Then you just bungee them down and transport the entire telescope along with its accessories. Really nice suggestion and saved me and probably many hundreds if not thousands of dollars. Thank you

Bless you, good sir. I bought a CPC 1100 Edge HD in 2020, with the wider and sturdier fork, and I quickly found out that no one made a carrying case for it. I wound up donating the scope to a local high school, anyway, since it was just too heavy for my wife and me (in our 70s) to handle. Just got a CPC 925 Edge HD, which I can manhandle myself, and my next purchase will be a DeWalt wheeled tool chest for it. Thanks for your help!

I think Dewalt needs to sponsor your channel! I love how you are using something made for "another purpose" and converting it into what you need it to be! I have done that myself many times. It's oddly satisfying. Now to see what kind of Dewalt case will be used for the star charts!! 🤣Great video Moose!

Thank you. After watching your video I went ahead and got the same box for my CPC 1100 Edge HD. I will try it tomorrow and hopefully it will fit

Great Idea for Personal Transport and Storage of an expensive piece of equipment.

Thanks for the video, very informative. Just bought one of these from Home Depot for my CPC 925. Planning to carve some Kaizen foam that I have left over from a previous project and glue it to the inside. Thanks for the idea!

Great idea. With the rails on the lid you can strap the hoist and or the tripod so that everything is in one place.

I saw the video. Thank you very much for the explanations. Can you write in the response the size of the box? How many gallons is it? I couldn't understand for sure. Thanks in advance

What kind of 2x bracket mount did you get for the optical tube body?

I did the same thing with my CPC 1100, but I need a cover for the visual back when removing the star diagonal, any suggestions? My case is also from Home Depot, its a Husky (btw).

Dude your link to amazon is wrong! I ordered it and it's far too small for the edge cpc HD 11''.
