What did the postman bring?

Hello. Rather nice handle from Astro shop.eu for my Stellarvue SV 102 ED frac.  Large box - small item within. 
Very nicely made. Recommended by Mr Handles @johninderby

Was thinking to give it a black paint job but rather taken with the red - for now

There’s a little red on the rotatable focuser on the scope, you can just see it in the last photo, so red it is !! 👍👍

Ah ha... the replacement ScopeTech Mount Zero has arrived, thanks to all at @FLO 👍

[johninderby]

Hope this one works as it should. 🙏🏼

A very nice used Lunt 1.25” Herschel Wedge for me. Will use it in a couple of scopes which won’t reach focus with my Coolwedge. Telementor and the Scopetech for example, and also with the TS72 as a more compact travel option.

Present for the 80mm for lunar and solar viewing, thanks to @Highburymark

A Universal Astronomics DwarfStar; (another alt-az mount); that @heliumstar was selling. 
Perfect for my 'grab & go' or 'travelling light' options/stargazing sessions.

😁 room for the 5mm too which is in the system. But yeah, it’s my fault for the clouds. 🙃

What size box is that? 👍

Great starter choices of the BST range. The 8mm is my most used and I really like the 15mm it gives a great image in my 200p at x80 mag.

Cheers 👍

I've got a similar one that I bought from Maplin, years ago.  I wonder if you can get new foam inserts?

I have this one coming today. Smaller than ones above, but should fit the lenses nice and snug

The box is pretty small. I estimate only 5 lenses will fit into this box

Today's package was some lens cleaning fluid for sorting out the inside of the corrector plate on the C8.
