Since then I've tried a few versions. Each iteration is better, but I'm still not satisfied. I don't know about the rest of you, but when I'm observing visually, I often switch eyepieces. I'm already liking what I have because it increases the number of items I can have at the ready. I might not need to lug around a folding table, in fact.
Here's what I've got so far:
A wide, flat surface, somewhat triangular, between the legs where I can rest more of my equipment while it's being in use.
Several bays for 1.25 & 2" eyepieces to be stowed. The bays are recessed so that the eyepieces don't easily slip out.
Note that you can slide the eyepiece into each bay sideways, leaving its caps on.
A couple of trays where loose items like thumbscrews and pencils can be placed.
Several slots where "disks" like eyepiece covers, lens caps, and a Bahtinov mask can be stowed.
The slots aren't working well, yet. I got the wrong size so the lens cap just slipped through! These slots need to have a bottom.
I still plan to integrate the power supply "brick" into this tray, too. Probably by just strapping it to the bottom.
