Post person attended today and I brings my XW collection to short fl ones.
Now have the 5XW and 3.5XW.
Just need to add the 10XW and 7XW as time passes and I will be in EP Nirvana.
Used from fleabay, very nice condition indeed.
Sorry FLO bought used as I was about to pull the trigger on a new one from you.- 7

Nice project and progress.
I look forward to following this.
Would love an observatory one day, but house building works stop this for now.
Good luck with your build.
Glad to see it was not only me toiling away under the sun over the weekend.- 1

and there was me thinking it was a comfy stool for observing from.........
then I remembered your an imaging guru.
Nice parcel, will we see an unwrapped version soon Sara?

You look away from a thread for a few days and the world of SGL goes mad.
That poor postal service has been rather busy in June so far.
Has it been cloudy or something?

Resolve or will power with a used scope, what’s that? I don’t think it exists does it?

I am surprised based on the number of Tak owners here on SGL that no one else has had the same issue Steve.
As you say get it mounted (treads lightly hoping it does not set things going again) and see how it goes.
Good luck with it and keep us all informed. -
Dear SGLers, please stop this right now!
How one of our members chooses to mount his fine scope, that is his or her choice.
If the type of mounting, type, colour or number offends, oh well.......we are all different are we not.
If someone has an opinion that they wish to very much MOUNT the very expensive scope they have bought and they express the opinion that the standard equipment is not up to the job, so be it, its a personal choice.
This escalating post situation, has gone beyond me and any agreement I may have had from an engineers background.
Put a stop to this right NOW, all of you - Play nice, be nice.

Woohoo!!!!!
Look what arrived just now. My Lunt 8x32 WL Solar Bins. Mark@beaufort (whom I bought them from) was not telling fibs when he said they are as new. These bins look like I've just gone to a shop and bought them. There isn't even a scratch on the box.
Sun's out, so time to go see what these puppies can do.
Full report later in the review section.
Look nice Paul, enjoy the sunshine
Its raining here in southern Essex.
Nice be avatar

Nice, Alan. I've never tried any of the Pentax EP's, but understand they are as good as Vixen SLV's only over a bigger 70 degrees ....sounds fun
Far nicer in my opinion, better build quality, more comfortable and as you say wider by 20 degrees.
I have gone Japanese with Vixen LVW, Pentax and some Televue made in Japan.
Some Chinese, but that's now going due to eye relief and my changing eyes!- 2

Now that's a Mini PC! Tee Hee.
In all seriousness, really, that's a fully functional PC? Wow, these things are small. -

Oh yes please, let’s have a Tak love in and show each part piece by piece.
I think one of you should start at the front end and show each glass element one at a time ?

Looking good, amazing progress in the heat.
Sorry to ask late after your comment, but what is a 'Newcastle' Shovel?
