What did the postman bring?

[johninderby]

A simple but useful item. Padded strap for my new bins. Has quick disconnects so easy to remove the strap plus has two little expandable pouches that will convienently hold the lens covers so no more where did I put the lens covers.  ?

I like the idea of the strap with pockets for the lens caps.

That looks perfect for my DSLR, can you tell me where you bought it from?

Thanks

From Amazon. Price varies depending on colour/pattern. Really comfy round the neck as well.  ?

Nice strap John, I use an American strap similar for my cameras, uses similar clips, very convenient.

A SW Equinox 66 arrived at mine yesterday. Should be a good lil match for the 183M :)

Despite reading about how poor the focuser is, testing mine with the Hypercam it feels solid with no movement or slop at all.

[Alan White]

Well the Post person turned up with a few parcels, sadly missing one Special D that has gone astray.....
But here we are, the much desired return of the 19 mm Panoptic, old was was referred to as 'My Precious',
so I really have no idea why I sold it in the first place!

This is for when I want longer eye relief from my incoming Nagler Type 6 or when sharing my scope with others.

[Alan White]

Well the much worked Post person turned up again today with my missing parcel ? only 24 hours late for a next day delivery.

The much wanted 7 mm Nagler t6 has arrived and  joins the 11mm t6 and 3-6 Nagler Zoom.
I have gone green on black again.

Very nice Alan, but won’t you have to change your icon to a map of the USA. Or at least the Pacific Rim? ?

Not on this one, its made in Japan, but I feel you are correct as some are from Taiwan and China.

William Optics Alt-Az mount from ENS Optical 

Waited ages to get one of this type of mount . 

Looks like it was made for the AZ4 tripod too ?

I do believe i sold you this, good to hear you like it.  I did spend  a bit of time one day faffing about with the focuser adjusting it, it can go tighter yet I think

4mm Vixen eyepiece and pocket sky atlas delivered today

 

 

[Ags]

I have the Pocket Sky Atlas, very good indeed!

[Stub Mandrel]

A pair of battery clips for my leisure battery (to replace existing croc clips with wires to more user friendly connectors).

A SATA cable so I can add yet more storage to my computer!

[Geoff Barnes]

You little beauty! I never ever thought I would have one of these, the EQ6-R Pro arrived today! ?

Just one problem..... I didn't order it!!!

Tasco have sent back my Dob Go-To base unit in one box, and to my surprise they sent a second box (addressed to me).

Upon opening said box there it was, a shiny new EQ6-R Pro mount.

Very nice I'm sure, but of absolutely no use to me at all.

Some poor soul somewhere is wondering why they haven't received their order, well that's cos I've got it!

Tried to phone Tasco at 12.35pm only to be informed they close at 12 noon on Fridays!  ?

I will just have to wait until Monday now to get anything done about it, someone has made a big boob! ?

At last my long awaited custom adaptor from PreciseParts enabling me to use my Feathertouch focuser on my Tak.  It took longer to get from Heathrow to my house (10 days) than it did to get from Miami to Heathrow.  £54.04 in charges for the pleasure at this end also (although that was expected so not a problem, but still painful).

Very happy and very very well made.  Let's hope it fits ?

New ADM puck for my AVX Mount arrived from FLO this morning, which allows me to replace the saddle with an ADM Vixen saddle (had spare one from Skytee II) to improve the mounting of my scopes when used on the AVX.  

[RiponJas]

Just arrived to me today courtesy of @kerrylewis a nice little Opticstar Ar80s to go with the 90mm I recently acquired. Happy little family now!! ? Hopefully one for the imaging and one for the guiding when I eventually get all the required gubbins.

You just need the AR90 f8.8 to complete the set.  ?

Not sure the financial authorities will enable that to happen just yet!!! Not totally sure she's aware I bought the 90mm one yet ?
