Hi Paul I don't think it's a good idea to advertise your address.

Sorted thanks

Tired of my RACI continually losing alignment frequently so purchased this guide scope/ finder mounting bracket. Good quality bargain from the bay of fleas which I was made aware of by @wesdon1.

@bosun21 awesome mate! They're dirt cheap but do the job great! In this hobby we all need to save money wherever possible!

Yes, as long as you have powered Astro kit, my sympathies on the bills delivery.

Large river delivery today of a Svbony SV220 dual band filter to try in my EAA setups. I will need to increase my exposure times no doubt, but not to the point where I will require guiding i hope. If I do then so be it. I also reacquired my little made by Vixen in Japan Tasco 8x40 binoculars. These are extremely light and sharp with an 8.5° fov.

If it makes you both feel any better, the graph looks to be different from the one I got last year

Colour for a start lol

Some new foam for my eyepiece case. I’m going through a big purge. In total it’ll be 8 eyepieces out with only one new one in. Once again, I’ll say that my eyepiece collection is complete and we’ll all laugh because everyone knows the truth!

Really? I just assumed it was mass printed. Did it look better worse or?

Because I am that kind of human being I scanned it and posted it here lol.

Caution:  Do not go looking for pictures via "My attachments" on here.  Seeing just how many pictures I've uploaded to the "What did the postman bring" threads has given me heart palpitations.  I'm going to go lie down.

The scan of the one I got.  Looks pretty darn similar, although the transmittance might be slightly higher on mine?  I suspect the true answer is that both graphs are wrong lol.

[TiffsAndAstro]

I'll upload a pic of mine when I get chance

One of these, my second one. Had one a few years ago but sold it with the old black EQ6 that rode on it.
 

Just need to cut it down a bit as it’s a bit too tall for the AZEQ6 and 12” newt that will go on it 

[Littleguy80]

After lots of selling eyepieces, my one new (to me) eyepiece arrived today. 22mm Nagler which is intended to replace my APM HDC 20mm. I’ll do some comparisons first to see which I like best. If the APM goes then the 100 degree era will officially come to an end for me.

My own Baader special offer taken up via private sale rather than the rather tempting Baader sale in place.

 

Already married up to my Baader 32mm Prism diagonal.
Nice piece of kit this.

Just arrived via @Littleguy80 

Boxed 24mm ES EP. It may just give me the push I need. Not been at the sharp end of one of my scopes since early May. 
WEATHER !!!!  Here east of Manchester just permanent cloud even today when allegedly some rays of sun supposedly hitting me - not.  Ho hum

Not jealous at all Alan… 😂 Nice addition to your kit.

[Alan White]

This time no postie, but delivery by the seller, thank you @Richard.

Replacement for the same EP that went back to FLO at start of year due to financial strain, but now the space is full again.

[JeremyS]

Arrived from Germany. I didn’t have to weight long, at all.

A new to me Altair 125edf..
