    How are you supposed to use dew heaters? Do you just turn them to maximum?

      the trick is to put them on before dew forms, what are you using them on.

      That makes sense, I left the heater on low and came back after a few hours to see dew on the corrector plate. I turned it up to max but there was still big ring of dew around the secondary that wouldn't go away. I am using it on a C11.

      On my C8 I just put mine on full from roof opening, never got too warm and not had any dew (touch wood ) .

      ??? Cambridge, 12" refractor, Nothumberland perhaps ??? Seems a bit unlikely as IoA has copious amounts of light pollution (usually).

      Yes, that the one! I used my own OIII filter and eyepieces ;). I couldn't see it at all without the filter.

    Revolution Imager held at the post office awaiting customs payment... How does one go about doing that?

      Go to the PO on the card, take card with you and pay the fee.
      The actual place they hold ours is the local sorting office not the PO in the town.

      They may ask for ID but whenever I have been to our PO the card is the ID.

    Upgraded to an 11" from a 6" 2 weeks ago... not a clear night in sight.

    Completely replaced my eyepieces. 9, 14, 20mm ES 100 deg and 30mm ES 82 deg. No more soda straws.
