Is the foam in the Lowes case the same as the Orion one? There is a
problem with outgassing of some foams and I am not certain if it would
cause a problem with coatings on EP's.
Perhaps someone who has looked closely at foam for shipping high quality
scopes (hint hint) may inject some experience here.
