My latest deal with FLO

Ordered a new Skywatcher 250px Flex Tube, Astrozap shroud, Rigel finder and a Moonlite focuser installation kit from FLO late afternoon on a Friday. No problems with the website at all, very easy to use, well apart from me forgetting what my user account password was – but even that was easy to resolve!

Received an email on the next Monday to say everything was being dispatched: The scope from the supplier and all the other items from FLO themselves. Fedex tracking details given for both deliveries.

Fedex van delivered all the items on the next day, all very well packaged and all intact.

Obviously I unpacked and commenced assembly straight away!

Just need to check collimation and await clear skies now!

Lovely looking scope and a really smooth and fast job from FLO!

I emailed them to confirm the delivery and received a nice reply from Martin the next morning.

Thanks so much for a brilliant service!

Good articles, very useful indeed!

Thanks for letting us all have them!

I used to have a 32mm Panaview a few years ago and its one of those eps that I regret selling tbh!

It is a great ep for the money!

I would have no problems recommending them to anyone with similar scopes to the 200P!

R.I.P Sir Patrick Alfred Caldwell-Moore.

I think he inspired all of us on SGL to do what we do more than anyone else.

What a life, what an adventure he went on!

Pat on the back for Spec-Chum and good ol' Alan too!!

Another prime example of why this forum is so good!

Share the knowledge etc!

Blimey Nevy..........

Those are amazing!!

Do they come with a security guard?...

Just received my first new eyepiece, so I decided to post my quite empty case

Must fill case.......Can't resist.......!

Nice set, that Speers-Waler zoom dwarfs the rest

Yep, it is a bit of a whopper, but pleased with it so far!

Doc

Right that's it, no more changes for a while ;-).....Hmmm!

Nice looking Ethos 13mm there Colin!! Had a chance to use it yet?

I have bought two Naglers since passing the Ethos on to you......So much for saving money eh?....!

Doc

Agreed, they are expensive for what they consist of and how they are made, but I do find mine very useful to have. I used to use a Baader Skysurfer V, which was much better made from metal and felt like a real quality item, however I just didn't find it great to use - some people do mind you!

Telrads do dew up, most finder-scopes will tbh. You can get little dew shields for them, again expensive for what they are, but they do help, a little.

Doc

Very useful for me on both my scopes! Used alongside a regular finder-scope and good wide field eyepiece I find I can, eventually, find most objects!!

Also bought mine from RVO, another good dealer!

Doc

I'm striking a blow for all of us with messy eyepiece cases!
