This is Pumpkin, the Astro-Tech 66mm ED refractor, on the first day with guidescope rings.
For reasons passing understanding, this particular set of Losmandy guidescope rings is matte silver instead of black anodized. Doesn’t seem to hamper their effectiveness, but it does throw off the all-black mount motif.
Not that Pumpkin really blends in, either.
