Hah... Well I don't believe it... It is a Nadira observing chair and my Christmas present. This is torture I have to wait until then. Christmas is aaaaages away!  😁

 

Well, I guess you’ll just have to sit it out. Oh sorry, you can’t 🤣

Will be worth the wait. You can spend Christmas Day sitting on the throne.

A 5v dew strip, a Anker power pack and two convertors that plug into the power pack 5v and give 12v out so I can still use my other dew strips, no more dangling cables.

The third proof copy of this book came yesterday. Finally got the right combination of ink, line widths and paper!

What is that you posted? Is the circle around the target the circle on the opposite page? Seems soo obvious now. I think that is a penny drop moment.

The finder chart shows the FOV of a 5° finderscope centered in the target. The sketching circle on the facing page would usually be tge FOV of the main telescope. Thanks for the question, I clearly need to add an explanatory note!

Some minimal Japanese glass.

From Astrodymium so that I can take guided shots with my Samyang 135mm. Took a whole month to arrive from Canada.

The postman safely brought a ToPic 80mm f15 today (Towa 339).  All looks in good order on the “church spire” test.

Just need these clouds to clear…

Hello. That looks the business !!!!  Can I ask about the tripod - Berlebach 312 maybe 

Enjoy.  John

Finally completed the 2” set… a Pentax XW40😃

This should be useful in the Mewlon 180 to maximise the FoV when required 👍

Thank you! Yes it is a Berlebach 312 report with an SW pillar. Hiding behind the scope is an AZ GTi.

He he... indeed, does look like one for sure 🤣

Yes it's lovely, I've had the XW 30 for over a year and did have an XW 40 last year, but sold it because (at the time) I found it gave too large an exit pupil for the scopes I had then... however, now I can really make use it.... one is back in the fold again now 👍

[Dave scutt]

Postman just brought me 2 spider covers  for my dob.

They won't be admiring themselves in the mirror no more🤣

I'll spend quite a chunk of Christmas day sitting on the throne after a huge lunch...

Something for when I really want to push magnification on the moon 😮

A lovely Vixen HR 2.0mm… bought from a fellow SGL forum member, in superb condition and well packed 👍

Technically only the ring and finder sets were delivered (also an unseen prism), I had to pick up the rest myself over the w/e. A handle is yet to be identified.

Handle

[Richard_]

After a 6 month wait, one returned telescope, two delays due to manufacturing issues which resulted in me choosing to change to another telescope; I finally received a William Optics FLT 120 with flattener and diagonal!

I shall name it "The Big Chungus". It won't see first light here in Wales for at least a week due to cloud, which I'm told by local weatherman Tom Jones "is not unusual".

Big thanks to @FLO for answering all of my emails, stupid questions and pestering over the past 6 months 😊 I should point out that my opening paragraph was of no fault of FLO, they were simply the middle man in all of this.

Looking good… I’m sure you’ll get many hours of observing joy from that setup 😀
