+RonC Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 (edited) A double 'wheeled' toolbox from B&Q £25. Going to convert the bottom half to a battery box with external 12v conectors and foam insert in the top box for the EQ5 mount. Small tray for the weight bar etc and pull-out draws for allen-keys screwdrivers etc... Edited January 21, 2014 by Ron Clarke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 My scope coat for the Lightbridge arrived today - it's the d's b's (mostly cos I designed it and had it made to spec). Would you believe a good 25% cheaper than a Telegizmo - and it pegs out like a ridge tent over the scope for complete all round protection. Pics coming soon. Look forward to the pics.

catman161 Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 Well this is new so I can put it in here I originally had the 38mm draw tube moonlite CR2 from FLO on their recommendation but I was having problems with not having enough backfocus. A couple of emails later and Martin at FLO sent me out the 50mm draw the version and I boxed up my 38mm one and made a simple exchange with the fedex driver this morning. Absolutely fantastic customer service from FLO-big thanks to Martin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+RonC Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 Altair 2"-1.25" Self Centering Eyepiece Adapter, don't like fiddling with screws in the dark!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest stash Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 Speaking of screwing in the dark - Is there any equiv of the Altair SCA(self centering) that replaces the threaded connection to the Focal Tube on my SW Dob that is SCA - i.e. without the screws. All my "bits" (2" - 1.25") are now SCA except for that which still has the screws as delivered. Hope that makes sense - any help links would be gratefully recvd - TA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest T A WOW Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 Revalation astro 3 inch hyperfocus rack & pinion refractor focuser for my bresser 152 frac. http://www.telescopehouse.com/acatalog/info%2dQ3G%2dA%2ehtml Bit overkill, but hey why not.

+RonC Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 That's interesting Tobias, I was thinking of upgrading my ED80 next month with this: http://www.firstlightoptics.com/baader-steeltrack-focusers/baader-steeltrack-rt-refractors.html Not a lot of difference, I'll see what you think when you've fitted and used it?? Cheers Ron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest T A WOW Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 That was my second choice, but I went for the Revalation, it looks a bit heavier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
