What did the postman bring?

[upahill]

After settling up with HM Customs another little parcel arrived today. Took about 14 days to get here in total:

Its a cute little 30mm guide scope to sit atop my 65mm quad, the guidescope I was using was 80mm so this is a little more compact - just hope it works ok.

Also got the mount which is missing off my scope, but it didnt come with screws and will need a spacer block or two underneath it as the legs are a little too short. Will have to work out the thread on the scope and source some small bolts next.

The build quality feels pretty substantial, im sure its not carbon fibre but its quite a heavy material and nice feel to it. Screw on end cap, screw locking nut and should look good with the GPCAM

I don't suppose that this will set many pulses racing, but who knows..

The tray of my Berlebach tripod was in need of some tlc, but when I took the metal fittings off, the screws and nuts were in a terible state.  The tripod lives outside on a balcony most of the time and it's not always possible to find a dry spot.  Hence replaced the fixings, as well as some varnish to the tray (yes I know it's far from perfect, but you should have seen it before) .

Lovely.

Further to the 13mm which arrived a couple of days ago I snapped these up on Facebook, unfortunately a little too slow to get the 24mm too

Actually had the sky meter for about 2 weeks now, but I received the Vixen 2x42 today. 
I think they will go well together - cant wait to test the binos under proper conditions.
Now all I need is a comfy deck chair maybe...

This one arrived today, lovely Baader Diamond Steeltrack focuser for my 12.5" Truss Dob project, with adaptor plate which I hope allows it to fit without too much hassle.

[GlenM]

Had to wait 3+ months for this.

 

[GlenM]

Just 1 more.

Short nosepiece for a ZWO camera. Should allow me to reach focus on the Daystar Solar Scout 60DS with a focal reducer. Does make quite a difference. 👍🏻

Theres no PM on it. I haven't set it up properly. There were no destructions in the envelope. 

[Gina]

Not good!  At least you didn't pay much for it...

It is 6:02 am, as DT means Dark time, or PM..... 😀👍

[Rob Sellent]

It's an early bird's watch. After 12 it's time to relax with a little DT, DownTime. Anyway, if packaged correctly the envelope should look something like this 😋:

I'm sure when I figure it out that the AM will only light up after midnight. It's a great watch. A bargain.
