Bolt Case Specifications and Compatibility Information

Agena Eyepiece Container Lookup Tool

If your eyepiece is not listed in the table below, please measure its maximum height and width and choose one of the cases based on the dimensions provided. We regret we cannot help you with choosing bolt cases for eyepieces we do not sell.

Each bolt case comes with 2 foam inserts, each of which is 9mm thick (so 18mm in total). Please subtract this number from the inside lengths specificed below if you plan on using these foam inserts.
