  1. Postman just brought me 2 spider covers for my dob. They won't be admiring themselves in the mirror no more🤣
  2. I've just looked at the customer reviews from flo and they say the baader ortho works well in f 4.7 at that price I might give them a go
  3. I'm using Es82 in my f5 they seem good across the fov but I've not looked through anything else to compare them with
  4. Have you got a budget for what you want to spend.
  5. Hi and welcome to SGL. I'm no expert still a newb but my dob gets alot of dew on the finder, secondary mirror, and ep's, dew heaters and dew shield might help.im sure someone with more experience will come along and help
  6. I can't travel my dob is too big and heavy for me to get in my car. And there's a dark site 40 minutes away, I'm observe from my garden bortle 3 ,a few trees facing south or should I say forest but if I wheel my dob 5 minutes up the road I have this.
  7. Sorry to jump in on your thread. What about a dew strip for a finder scope, the back and front dew up do I need to put one both ends or would one just be enough for the whole finder
  8. Hi and welcome to SGL. +1 for the dob
  9. It's the secondary mirror im having the most problem with, suffer with alot of dew from where I am .when I'm observing everything looks fine, then the stars don't look sharp and harder to get in focus so I was thinking collinmation was out but when I looked through the focuser the secondary mirror is covered with dew. End of a good clear dark night😪
  10. I'm not sure myself I'm sure someone would be able to answer that question there very helpful on here 🤔
  11. My first baadar OIII filter. Still looking for an 2" version in the wanted section if anyone selling 😁
  12. Hi all. I want to make a dew shield for my 12"dob, I looked up early posts and a foam camping mat was mentioned. 1) Would this stop dew on my secondary mirror 2) How long would I need to make it 3) Is a foam camping mat a good idea (going to work). Thanks Dave
  13. I keep my dob in a wooden shed so it's easy to get outside and cool down quickly. I brought some covers from amazon haven't arrived yet but lm sure it would help keep the spiders out
  14. My skies are to cloudy recently so the only doubles I'm seeing is whisky 🤪
  15. Not the postman but UPS feels like my birthday, I'm surprised it's not raining
  16. Nice postman just brought me a box from flo some reading for the bad weather im about to get for buying something.
