My man has come through with the couple of bits and bobs for the telescope, a little spacer for the new camera mount and a holder for Baader Solar Safety Film which will allow me to use the full aperture for viewing the sun.

I expected no less, but it's a beautifully finished piece of beech I think, two pieces held together with 6 brass screws to trap the filter material. It was a bit of a delicate process getting the the filter material in place and one of the screws put a little tension into the film but not enough to worry about a tear. The diameter is over size by about 4mm, I may put some sticky buds on the inside surface to take up the slack but I'm not sure it's worth it. The only thing I would like differently, and it my fault that it's not, is the depth. There is no reason for it to fall off in normal use but considering the consequences I will have to tape it in place to ensure that unexpected knocks from dogs, kids or earthquakes don't result in it coming off the telescope.

This is the spacer, and the mount, it a little bit of walnut, a really snug fit with the recess so that it doesn't drop out when the pressure is taken off but doesn't interfere with the operation of the mount.

Thank you Mark!
