Hopefully the end of my spending for a wee while. A case to store and transport my newly purchased Vixen f10.7 frac and a second saddle for the AZ 100 mount.

Arrived earlier this morning. I wanted to try a long focal length refractor and I have always liked the Vixen livery. Thanks to Parralaxerr for the smooth sale.

If one was inclined towards this mount, is it worth getting it with encoders and the Nexus unit pre-fitted, or can they be fitted later ?

They advise to get the encoders fitted. You could then get the   Nexus later and then programme it to the Encoders yourself.

Hermes have just messaged me to say they have a delivery for me, but I was expecting anything

Wowzer, my dream set up, wonderful.
Please let us know how it goes once you are builder free.
Something in common, we have notable building works started, in moving all the packing boxes,
I managed to cocoon the scopes to no longer allow access, very poor plan on my part indeed.
 

Could be a while ever first light Alan. Weather forecast is grim for the next week. Only to be expected I suppose.

Hello and a warm welcome to the SGL.

I have a vixen frac still to come and hopefully that will be all for a while.

Yes the bank account is looking rather meagre

Looks fantastic. I can smell the Berlebach wood from here 👍🏻
“The building work” - not an observatory by any chance. 😊

Yes it smells fantastic. Unfortunately no obsy. That’s a future project. Just so me boring fencing getting replaced.

Finally got round to unpacking the boxes. Unfortunately we are getting some building work done at the moment, so I could not set it all up. Full pictures will be shown in the AZ100 dedicated site.

A few boxes to open this morning lol

Hello and a warm welcome back.

Hello and a warm welcome e to the SGL.

I have just heard from FLO that my AZ100  and accessories are on their way to me. Therefore I would like to submit a formal request to join this honourable club.

Lucky you. Two Lear nights here but we have about a foot of snow lying in the garden and temperatures of -8 C, so not conducive to observing
