I am sure you 'handled' the wait well Mr S 😉 Mind you the comment suggests you had one in your youth, a long wait rather than a handle.

Zermelo Posted Friday at 17:03 Share Posted Friday at 17:03 Yes, a handle. For my recent SV503. Yes, I should have bought it with the OTA. Have I learned nothing from this forum? 2 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do the Germans indulge in tomfoolery with their new apprentices, or is it deemed too silly? Someone will know. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure where else to look 🤔 Directly from svbonys site. I did ask if I could buy a single filter holder instead of a 3 pack. Think it was £120 no extra charges took 9 days and brought clear skies and free stickers. £14 of that was "no extra import fees" I shouldn't have taken.

Ratlet Posted Friday at 22:34 Share Posted Friday at 22:34 For the svbony stuff you're best to check on their website and on AliExpress. Usually one will be cheaper than the other. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did look around and it is a decent deal After ordering I saw the holder on eBay for £18 if anyone needs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have I learned nothing from this forum? Honestly feel that a handle of this style which can double as a finder shoe is an under rated quality of life improvement for a scope, only slightly behind an observing chair. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan White Posted 18 hours ago Share Posted 18 hours ago (edited) Postie about lunchtime, he was apologising for being so late....really I said, your fine its today that counts. Anyway I digress, a couple of bits, An ellusive TV Cap for my 32mm Plossl, the original split. And a friend for my 20mm Astro Essential Plossl, for a trial with the Baader Maxbright ii. I have to say, @FLO the service was super, ordered quite late yesterday and arrives with an apology for lateness today.

Mine, bought secondhand, came with a non original end cap which doesn’t fit that well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes Neil, the cap was a genuine TV one from @FLO and replaces the erstwhile one. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Les Ewan Posted 13 hours ago Share Posted 13 hours ago My last purchase was last week a couple of low power budget Skywatcher 40mm and 32mm Plossls for my 76mm f9 Astrolux. I used them for the first time with the Astrolux last night and both gave lovely crisp views of the Pleiades with all the main members in the FOV.😎 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
