What did the postman bring?

It is, of course hazy, and the Sun is a tad quiet...

I'll probably pop a camera onto the scope later - there's a nice prom (visible without the double-stack filter).

QHY183M arrived earlier :)

In the box:

Pretty much bare bones but no interesting extras! Standard 12V cable (bottom right) is redundant. USB 3 cable (middle) is a bit short but will probably do for now. ST4 cable (top) is redundant. Desiccant and tube (top right) pretty much redundant - if you don't undo the screw for the desiccant tube, you probably won't need to! T2 to 1.25" adapter (top) might possibly get used but not necessary at the moment. The 12V power mtof lead (top left)  with screw connector could get used but probably isn't necessary. No software disk supplied so will have to download the drivers. 

Camera weighs 449g so not heavy.

Weather - cloudy :( Slight chance of some clear skies on Saturday night but not holding my breath...

Very nice Steve, that will make a nice difference to the contrast.

Hope it wasn't looking through the DS Lunt at Sixpenny Handley that sparked that purchase.

My Lunt is with me at work today, but now its lunchtime, we're clouded out again ?

A bit if brass trim to go with it would make a nice 'steampunk' eyepiece tray.

 

That's near enough to be a winner.... no brass, but yeah a new EP tray for the Iroko Tripod I made last year!

I know, I Know... exciting times!

They are great devices. They are beggars for dew, but can be covered / heated well enough.

Post person delivered a parcel yesterday and can only assume that they used the power of gravity to make it appear on my patio ?

fortunately it wasn’t Astro related and surprisingly not damaged.
