Received my L-extreme filter from FLO, much sooner than expected too which is great. 

Currently out trying it.

Think Tank bags are excellent, have had a few over the years.

So far very impressed! A good example of getting what you pay for.

Another book...

ADM replacement saddle for AVX. Image (C) First Light Optics

The knobs are Celestron orange.

remove 4 bolts holding old plate; when removing old saddle, be aware of the small slug in the thread for the clutch.

remove 2 bolts from plate of new saddle, attach collar to mount, transfer clutch to new collar, fit new saddle using original bolts

Technically no post person was involved but I didn’t know which section to put this gem like find. 
Cat charity shop for 2 euros. It is complete and unused. The map and book are so stiff I don’t think they have been opened. Still has the printed letter from Sir Patrick Moore.
On the plus plus side I didn’t have a manual planetarium.

New tool box (Husky 23-drawer, 56-inch wide):

 

 

Now, everything in one place, finally (and it barely fit the allotted space).

I just got a planisphere this morning. Thanks a lot @Richard_B

This is a really nice-to-have item for visual observation and not messing my dark adaption using the phone app.

To complete the Tak Trio... just arrived from @FLO(thanks👍)... a Takahashi FC-100DC.

Love that it comes with its inspection certificate that includes the company President 😃

I can’t believe how lightweight this is for a 100 APO scope 😮

Lovely.

And the signatures convey the pride in their products.

Me too arrived yesterday, thought with the lighter nights coming I could revisit the moon and try to get some imaging done based on the atlas detailed information instead of random luck.

Indeed, but... bags are a really personal thing. I’ve been through so many camera bags over the years.

[iapa]

I just had a thought - possibly the first one over 50 yrs.

Can we include items purchased and delivered some time ago? I’ve packages from last year still unopened.

Or should a separate thread be opened for “What I forgot was delivered”?

Perhaps in the interests of equality we should name this the thread "What did the postie bring?" 

[Ags]

Postal executives, surely?

And a nice foil sticker, takes ages planning where to put that! So true about the weight and they still feel solidly constructed. Thin wall (drawn?) tube and very accurate castings.🤓

I’m sure there are a few on here that might make some suggestions 🤣

 

But I’d say anywhere the brand police can see it 🤣
