I had to pop out for a couple of hours around lunch-time, and inevitably a parcel was delivered while I was out. On my return I found this behind my front door.   I've no idea how this

It's like a magician's magic box. Abracadabra, poof, appears an Eq8 r pro mount, lol.

All ready to take to Kelling? 😊

Did I miss the selfie with Rob?

 

Seriously, the EQ8 looks terrific

This morning's postie brought me this rather nice Pentax 5mm e/p, courtesy of @GordonD, nicely bedded down in bags of bubblewrap for its journey to its new home. Thanks Gordon! It's in excellent condition and is joining a couple of its brothers. I love the good eye-relief and easy going nature of these eyepieces and will probably have to put one or two of the others on the transfer list.

That’s super, Nigella.

Ah yes, I can see the Tak box. Sadly not for me tho. I’ve a while to wait 🤣

Thought about buying this one myself but dithered too long. 🙄

Great eyepiece by the way. 👍🏻

Nice. Snap!

Slightly different finder setup, though.

Got his a few months ago, for less than the cost of an old ortho eyepiece. Included a Super Polaris mount and tripod that I'm trying to restore.

See you in the "Show us your Vixen Scope or mount" thread!

If you want photos/measurement of teh end cap for 3d-printing, drop me a line.

Did you get the original eyepieces and diagonal with it? Mount?
