Hello and a warm welcome to the SGL.

Yesterday the postie delivered a very nice WO E-SPL 6 mm ep. Many thanks to Gus for this.

Hello and a warm welcome to the SGL.

It’s a thermometer.

New travel scope to take to some darker sites nearby.

Thanks Stu, might even post some images lol

Can never get it right using phone hand held so thought I would try this.

This arrived today. Just about to give it a try with my ST 102 and a rather cloudy Moon.

My post man has been rather busy this week. Inspired by Jeremy S I decided I needed a light weight set up to view Saturn and Mars. They are just too low from my back garden, but a 15 minutes walk takes me to the local park and a observing site with lovely clear horizons to the East and South. I purchased a Neewer carbon fibre 65 tripod and a TS travel mount to go with it. Can’t afford Jeremy ‘s Tak 65 but will use a wee SW Mak instead. I am also going bird watching to Mallorca in September and I hope to take this set up with me. I also got a Omegon 90 degree diagonal for this purpose.Set it up this afternoon and it seems very stable and usable. Hope to get a first light tonight.

An interesting book and a nice power mate. Never really got on with Barlows so I thought I would try this out.

Just received a baby Mak to use when travelling. Thanks to Niall.

Yes he certainly is Jeremy. I have read the first couple of chapters and it is a very enjoyable read.

Just delivered by the Amazon person.

Hi Alan. I hope to use them with my Lunt 50 and my Skywatcher 120 ED for lunar.

Thanks. Now all I have to do is what other eps to pair.

Today I received a set of binoviewers. Now I only need some clear sky to see if I can get them to work. Be prepared for questions folks.

Hello and a warm welcome to the SGL.

This is why I don’t buy on EBay. Had the same experience a couple of times Dave.

Just delivered. Thanks to Dave. Now I just need a clear sky to try it out.

There is a very nice demonstration on how to set this system up on YouTube

I do not think there is a niche for this in amateur astronomy Chris. Looks more like a rich mans toy to me, but it will be very interesting to see if there is a market for it. I have my doubts.

Will post a review once read Alan

Latest acquisition. Delivered this morning. Looks like a very good read.

The nice postie brought me this lovely eyepiece today. Bigger than I expected so put televue plossl for comparison. Many thanks to Dave (F15 rules ) for a quick sale.

Delivered by the nice postman today.
