Not before time I have eventually sourced a protective carrier for my Oberwerk Tall Tripod.  The Geoptik carrier for Eq6 and tripod.  It has a bit more capacity than I envisaged, wondering if I might fit my Vixen HAL 130 alongside it, need to get the Vixen in from the garden to check it out. No more dings and scrapes😀

Very neat! I really have to get my gear sorted and stored properly. My ED-Apo is the only devcie I have a case for, not counting the Star Adventurer's Box.

I havevbeen planning for a long time to get cases and make proper foam cutouts for my Vixen GP, the Star Adventurer and a few other odds and ends, but never come around to actually do it.

That looks very neat indeed, like the grip element.

Wouldn't an electric motor be a little more compact?

Wicked....🤣

Post person delivered a card so I could go collect this item. 
Another member of the @David Hardie sell off collection, thank you David.

I have tried a 5mm DeLIte before and didn't like it for some reason, but
thought what the heck try a 9mm as it's a gap I wish to fill.
Very pleased I did.



In later answer to David's question about lack of box hindering sales,
clearly not is the answer.

I do love my postman even in his shorts

TeleVue Nagler 13mm from David Hardie sale just came in. In very good condition. Tested it just now on some buildings and branches. Very, very good.

[johninderby]

Just a couple of 2” parfocal rings.

Just the thing to stop the Morpheus eyepice from going to far into the 2” telextender.

[happy-kat]

A bosch fuel pump, haha

[Danjc]

A rocket blower as my old one was about as much use as a wet fart !

 

[Helen]

A welcome addition for the Vixen SX2 mount - to stop the Tak 100 hitting the tripod.  Very robust 🙂

So what's in here then?

Well, it looks like a box of clouds, ( sort of, ) it says it's maybe a box of clouds, but:

It is in fact an AZGTi, take 2! The first attempt was faulty, but Rob at FLO, sorted it and here it is in another incarnation, which hopefully will work great now! Ta very much FLO for sorting it.

Edit: No idea how many weeks it will take for me to be able to test it, considering the sent clouds though...

Edit2: Still not working. Starting to think I have got a right lemon here.

Today I received an 80mm Celestron guidescope courtesy of AB&S.  Irritatingly I can't find any spare tube rings for it, but I'm sure I'll work something out.  Perhaps just fit a dovetail directly to it or maybe even make some, though given the relatively low cost of a new pair perhaps it would just be easier to buy them

Telrad at last! This will complement my S&T jumbo sky atlas nicely which is set up for the telrad 0.5,2 and 4 deg circles. The 9x50 optical is doing my head in. Can't wait to go star hopping soon as it clears...

[johninderby]

Finaly bought a “brick” then. 👍🏻

They may not be the best looking thing you can stick on your scope but they are the best of their type to look though. 🙂

Love my Telrad, you will need some dew protection though.
I fitted one from Dew-Control, works very well:

Post person was busy today, lots of bills ☹️

But also some goodies 😀

'Another bit of pointless car park stone' says Mrs W
or Meteorite slice to you and me.

Lucky imaging setup happy area51m arrived. Dual power cords for amp boost when in need.

 

[RT65CB-SWL]

One of @David Hardie's Celestron T-adaptors. 

Also collected an SCT off-axis guider, from @astronomer2002 earlier this week.

Thank you gentlemen.

Swapped my little stool for a more supportive seat.  This bar stool from Dunelm can rise 21cm as well but I'll not need that in here.  It has a rubber base so the metal will not scratch the floor when moving it.

I've got one of these to. Lovely scope for a semi apo. I was pleased when I got it. Matches my Altair diaganol perfectly to 😁
