What have you lost lately?

[Ags]

Only Astro items count! My Astronomik L3 has been missing for ages, but today I realized my ZWO Duo filter has also gone. I think perhaps there is an interdimensional rift in my astronomy corner, and it is sucking small items into the seventh dimension? Let me know if you see the Duo, it was last seen in the company of an SCT - T2 adapter which I would like to bring in for questioning 😀

I moved house recently and there are all sorts of things I can not find, but most annoying is my missing slow mos for my AZ 100.

I lost a dust cap off the top of one of my Nirvanas 😡

If anyone has a spare...

ZWO Duo 

It is spring time, two filters go missing, no surprise there, wait a while and they will re-appear with lots of little ones - which you will need to re-home with your chums on SGL

The will to live....given the weather recently. All that kit sitting idle....

I'm looking at buying a s/h FSQ106. But if you value your leisure time at £10 per hour that's an awful lot of clear nights to justify the cost...

Too funny, I lost the case for mine.  Maybe they met up and eloped? 😏

Most recently a packet of 50mm metal washers i was going to fit above the spikes of my tripod, to stop the legs sinking in the ground / getting muddy etc.

Worse one for me was a Tracer 12v 10Ah Lipo battery. Totally disappeared a few years ago.  Cost £200 or more. I've started to think, sadly, that it may have been stolen 😞

[Peter Drew]

Not looking for anything at the moment so don't know yet.      🙂

[Ags]

woot woot! I found my ZWO DUO filter and the renegade T2 adapter!!!!!

[John]

Dust cap for the eyepiece of a Skywatcher finder scope. Lost in the dark and in long grass at my society observatory. I'll manage without it, I guess ........

A while back I lost the 62mm cap off the front of one of my camera lenses, so I bought another.

Two years later I found the original on the grass outside the house. Grass I cut every week in summer

My mojo.

[Tomatobro]

I used to drop the washer and black knob (the one that holds the spreader for the tripod legs) and in the dark and long grass spent ages trying to find them. To make finding them easier I purchased a hand held metal detector like the ones used for body searches to help find them. Since buying the detector I have not dropped them once. Insurance I guess?

[The60mmKid]

Lost £170 on the classifieds today.

[glafnazur]

2 finder scopes, a moon filter and my mind.

Lost two finder scopes?! Did one go looking for the other and not return??

The Elves brought it back , in their barrow world it was only a couple minutes , they have a 58 mm objective so does not fit...

[Elp]

Marbles, lots of them.

[bosun21]

The small dust cap on my 9x50 RACI. I have a ton of spare dust caps but nothing that even comes close to that size.

The first to go missing was a girl,  the other One went to find-er.

Same. Not been feeling up for much astro lately. I used to check Clear Outside multiple time everyday seeing if there was a chance of a few hours. Relentless cloud for months and a rubbish start to the year has dampened my urge to do anything lately.

[MalcolmP]

Clouds !

Yes, I've lost them
the sky is all dark with twinkly things in it  !
I'm off, behave yourselves while I am gone  >>>>
 

[RT65CB-SWL]

I keep losing my iPhone, iPad, the plot or losing my mind some days!

That said, many years ago I ‘lost’ a TeleVue Plossl eyepiece at a star party. I returned to the park/site the following day and asked the park staff/rangers if it had been handed in. “No, nothing mate/sir. Sorry!” was the reply. So I went to where I was set up and had a look for myself and found it within a few minutes.

That's what happens when you play in the dark.
