What did the postman bring?

Enjoy 😊

Thanks to @F15Rules for the well packaged Celestron 40mm plossl. Ideal finder eyepiece for my Maksutov

More glass (pre-loved): 

My LVW collection increases. Thanks to @Rob for the 5mm - it's in brand-new condition!

The 10mm BCO was purchased just out of interest about all the rave reviews it gets. I wanted to compare it with my other little 10mm EPs (like the Vixen NLV plossls). I have a pair of the latter (for binovewing) and wanted to see if this was a better EP. I really like the 10mm NLVs. Thanks @F15Rules

Hope you enjoy the BCO, it's a nice eyepiece!

Oh, and Me wanted that 5mm LVW!!😭😭😂😂..enjoy!

Two new Astroberries in the making. 

[F15Rules]

Nice, mint Baader T2 prism with fine focusing eyepiece holder. I don't think it's ever been used..

Will be used with my trusty old Vixen SP102 achromat👍😊

Had one for ages and find it is a great diag.. Fitted mine with a 2” nosepiece though.

Thanks to fellow member @whooshbang for selling me his bespoke dec bracket for iOptron Skyguider Pro. It has a Skywatcher derived worm gear for smooth adjustments. A major improvement over the standard iOptron one.

 

 

 

Looking good now

I actually seen it appearing the minute it was posted but I made the cardinal mistake of being undecided.(fool I am)😱 Oh and the 10mm BCO

Thanks John.

Yes, I've got a 2" nosepiece on my Baader Zeiss BBHS T2 prism in the Tak..the Zeiss has slightly larger 34mm free aperture vs 32mm in the standard one, so I can use my 23mm Axiom LX  2" 82 degree ep (which has a 34mm field stop) in it with a Baader 2" Clicklock with no vignetting..

The SP102 stock focuser can only use 1.25" eps.

I saw the 5mm LVW as soon as it was posted. I already have one though, albeit at twice the price that was selling for

That's interesting, my LV30 has a similar sized field stop, I will look into this. The Zeiss BBHS prism can be used with T2 fittings like the smaller one I already have. This could resolve my heavyweight 2" diagonal problems.

My new "grab and go" mount...

Coming from an AZ-EQ6 I am impress by its size 😀

 

 

[Astro_Dad]

A nice addition for my new StarSense Dob, going a little wider than the stock 25mm 😀

[Astro_Dad]

Previous Rigel broke in use  a few days ago - turning one of the plastic alignment screws as normal (setting up on Heritage 150p) simply came loose and connecting screw fell out - seemed at worst impossible to reattach given the very narrow gap - at best a lengthy fix I don’t have time for. Probably should have reported to @FLO as a Warranty fix but in the excitement of travelling away this week decided to just reorder one. I think this will work well in a more central position on the StarSense Dob for those “manual nights”…

Been after one of these for a while. My first cautious ABS purchase too. Needn’t have worried though as think I unwittingly purchased from a SGLer. Superbly packaged, can’t wait to give it a go. Sun’s out too! 😃

Indeedy, 'twas I...🙂

Hope you enjoy it.

Great products !

Not the postman, but i picked it up myself last week.

I swapped one of my 1600mm image trains for this sub-year old 8” Edge HD.

Thanks to Gavin from Frome, I’m the new custodian of a TAL100 RT. Very nice condition for age, 21 years old.
I will post some images once I get my breath back, he gave me the coffin box it came in!

The focuser is the R&P which I might just upgrade to the Crawford if it can be done.

Nice scope - plus some very interesting looking gear in the background! 

[badhex]

Gave in to curiosity (and travelling to darker, but still middling skies soon) and bought an Astronomik CLS to see if I can improve LP even just a tiny bit.
