OIII filter

A set of anti vibration pads, hopefully to reduce the dull thuds of the kids elephant feet. Less than a tenner on ebay. Hope they work.

A new Berlebach chair from FLO/DHL plus a Tele-Optic Ercole collected from @MrsGnomus today to go with my not yet photographed Berlebach UNI 24C Tripod from @Paul73...

I’ll remember that comment when I’m sitting on it in the middle of winter cloaked in various layers of miscellaneous clothing and a balaclava, Chris ??

Sure is, Steve - only available from Feather Light Optics

I like the idea of a footrest on the chair. When your legs/feet dangle while seated, they tend to go numb quickly.

I like that, Derek.  Does the seat move up and down?  It looks like it goes to whatever height you want and then wedges in that position?  Looks very nice indeed.

Yip - the seat and footrest both move up and down and grip onto the back of the front legs of the frame. A very neat design

the mechanism is shown in the pictures on the Berlebach website https://www.berlebach.de/?bereich=details&id=99&sprache=english

What a simple but effective design.  That's great.  I love the fact that the footrest moves also.

This is the first time I've looked at one of these and I'm really impressed.

@FLO sell them cheaper than Berlebach - and with cheaper shipping ?

Any idea what's in the box...?

Turned up last week.... after a....

4 year wait - I kid you not!

 

Looks like it came with some much needed cloud... could really do with some rain as well !

Tell us, tell us, tell us! what's in the box!?!?  

[PeterW]

Bins.... 8x30 for daytime use (had my eye on for ages) and some old (cheap on eBay) wide angle 7x50 to see how they perform.

My money is on Matryoshka (not dolls) boxes 

[RiponJas]

Just had the WiFi unit for my HEQ5 turn up closely followed by a thunderstorm. Great eh?? ? 

[PeterW]

Eyepiece?.... bit small for a monster ethos though. Too big for a filter. Sort of binocular size... about the same size as the boxes I have been getting lately ?

Looks like I need to buy some astro gear - we need rain for the gardens!  Mind you, it would probably just bring cloud and that's no good!!

[johninderby]

Raining lightly here at the minute.  ?

Lucky you!  ?
