Ha ha… I had the same this morning too… also from @Dantooine…. Superbly wrapped and in excellent condition (as always)… thanks Dale 👍

Baader 2” BBHS Diagonal Prism with ClickLock 😃

Come to think of it I was getting funny looks from my village post office. 😂

I've got so fed up of trying to explain, in answer to the question "what's in the package?" at the P.O. what a telescope eyepiece or accessory is, that nowadays I just say "it's a small, metal based telescope component"...

If I ever sell my 1.4kg Celestron Axiom LX 31mm beast, however, I doubt that explanation will work!

Describing it as a hand grenade might not be the best idea. 🤔. 😁😁😁

Looks like @HollyHound has resumed his buying streak ! 

Seriously though , it is very nice to try everything and selling the stuff which is not used much ! Enjoy!

The problem is the selling.

Ask your self, are you really sure that you will not want to use it again????

THat's why I have at least four 8" OTAs of various designs, long with several 'fracs.

most people go the other way with an asiair or a raspii. This just arrived- only 8kg 🤣 It’s my new dedicated astrocomputer

 

[Alan White]

That looks a very solid computer, ex-military?

Yes I think so Alan- certainly looks like you could drive a tank over it and it would still work ok

Be warned SGLers, don't give dodgy advice, post your terribly processed image or a pic of the same 4" frac eleven times. Mark may call in an airstrike! 👊

(I can't see the big red 'do not press' button.)

Is it just me or does that round button look like the NUKE key. 🤔

Ahh the big red button has gone stealth... Numlock is probably the ejector seat button too.

This chap, lurking down a deep hole in Wyoming, wants his laptop back! 😂

It might look tuff but put it in a bag with some pocket lint and that screen will get ruined. 

I want one.

Fit for a nuclear war, but will it survive the dreaded spilt cup of coffee? Or is that classified 😀

The results of a chrimbo spend turned up today. If I buy anything else I’ll fully expect Santa to come down the chimney and give me a punch in the face 😯

[Alien 13]

Possibly the best £27 I have spent this year...

 

Huion H420 graphics tablet, its tiny but it is always something I have wanted to go with PS and Affinity Photo. Will be super useful for my other hobbies too.
