The new telescope arrived as scheduled on the Monday.
Unboxing shots:

| The various "bits and bobs" included with the TAL-120 telescope. The "adapter" is really a short T-mount extension ring, and would be used with SLRs with a relatively short flange-to-focal-plane distance. Not used with my Sony dSLR, but could be useful if you have a Canon or suchlike. The "Cross-hairs Reticle" screws into one of the eyepieces and is used during setting up for aligning the main telescope tube with the smaller finderscope (which has its own built-in reticle).
