What did the postman bring?

[Dean Hale]

Five 35mm film canisters for a very cheap desiccant cap jobbie. £3 from eBay. Unfortunately a mm or so too wide may have to get the potato peeler on them. Otherwise can still be put to good use and will be fine for storing M4,5,6 bolts etc.

Picked up a fine pair of Binos today, many thanks Pete. Going to need a tripod with these though

The lady wife bought me a really nice prezzie...

 

And the completed item....

Thought I would give one of these a go for powering an AZGti. At £29 on Amazon, it's a little bit more than 8 good quality rechargeable AA batteries that can run the AZ but should get more life out of this. SD card placed for size comparison.

Lovely new (to me) UranoMetria 2000.0 Deep Sky Atlas…. Thanks to @Franklin from right here on SGL 😃

A little treat for selling a couple of scopes recently saw a trip to the Widescreen Centre ( thank you Simon and Elena ) .. to pick up this little beauty … to be mainly used for visual but I’m sure my  camera would love to meet it and make lovely photos together . Of course it’s cloudy tonight zzz

Nice one 👍

You'll find this one works very well in all your Taks. It's particularly useful in my Mewlon 180C. A lovely widefield eyepiece indeed 😀

New ADM losmandy dovetail from @FLO, now attached and ready for action ….. 

[cajen2]

Delivered today, warm thanks to @SteveNickolls . Nice piece of kit with its own aluminium case!

Hopefully will get the chance to try to out later today. 🙂

Arrived this morning from FLO, a GEM45 (no encoders or guider but incudes iPolar).

Its manageable to carry out, especially if I take off the counterweight first.  The weight was the deciding factor over the obvious alternative which I think I'd struggle with.

Just need some time to workout how to control it before the next clear sky, oh plenty of time then.......

Been wondering what all the fuss was about, so just had this turn up. And I must say if feels pretty premium, although I haven’t had chance to peep through it yet….

Bit of a bonanza day for me today.

First up some replacement backup batteries for my Skysensor 2000PC units, both of which have lost their settings. Hopefully these will fit and get me going.

Next up, this arrived, very nicely packaged (took a bit of wrestling to get it open 🤣). It’s a Vixen HAL130 with a GP adaptor from @callisto to take my GP-DX. Hope to start using this at some point soon. There’s an ADM Dual format Vixen/Losmandy adaptor on its way some time so I can use the LZOS on it.

Finally, an equally nice Feathertouch FTF2025BCR. This is for the FC76DC (although shown on the 100) so the original can go back on the FC100DC. I’ve got a More Blue fine focuser coming for the original Tak focuser on the FS60C, so will soon be setup with all three scopes with having to shift bits around 👍

Last post for awhile, I’m now broke 😏😆 ………

Lovely 7inch ADM dovetail from @geeklee, arrived very well packed, thanks mate!

Optolong filters and D1 kit for my QHY camera, delivered safely from Modern Astronomy, great service as always from Bernard.

I finally managed to get locally an excellent condition used Skymax 127 to hang off my AZ5/AZGTI mounts and couldn't resist a snazzy Oplok bag from FLO...

New saddle arrived this evening, no chance of damage to my dovetails now...

Thank you FLO.

[RobertI]

Just couldn’t resist these, having been reminded of how much I enjoyed them. The Moon, Mars & Venus book is actually a really nice detailed little guide which I will definitely use. The Constellation book less so.

Many thanks to FLO for the rapid dispatch of:

Astro Essentials M48 to M42 / T2 adapter

Astro Essentials 2-inch Compression-Ring adapter for Sky-Watcher Newtonians 

Astro Essentials UV/IR Cut Filter 2"
