What did the postman bring?

Some great guesses folks !

The smaller box did indeed contain the heavy duty tube ring / 75mm DT bar set and also a William Optics binoviewer set so that I can see if they reach focus with the ED150 :smiley:

A new Tele Optic Giro Mini arrived today from Teleskop Service. 

The white central bearing looks a bit strange but I might learn to live with it ?

Not seen those before Derek, is it even smaller than the Mini Ercole? Looks interesting.  It has a little more height than my Giro-WR so probably won’t need a pillar of any sort to avoid tripod leg clashes! Nice, although I do see the white is a little unusual. Can’t see it in the dark though I guess :)

..but the positioning of the az knob is better designed than on the GR ? (won't interfere)

Sorry, a typo - it is an Ercole Mini, not a Giro Mini :icon_confused:

It's exactly the same as the one I had a couple of years ago apart from the white bit, which looks like it is made of Teflon.

From left to right... 13mm 'smooth-side' Plossl* ---> 13mm Nagler/Type 1 ---> 13mm Nagler/Type 6.

* added for comparison.
