  1. 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
  2. Hi and welcome to SGL. +1 for the dob
  3. 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😪
  4. I'm not sure myself I'm sure someone would be able to answer that question there very helpful on here 🤔
  5. My first baadar OIII filter. Still looking for an 2" version in the wanted section if anyone selling 😁
  6. 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
  7. 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
  8. My skies are to cloudy recently so the only doubles I'm seeing is whisky 🤪

  12. You sure it wasn't a car head light(only one car head light this is Ireland) as you lay on the floor from too much Guinness
  13. It must of been bad I fell asleep 😴 15 minutes into it
  14. Hi stuu. I was getting dew on my ep's when not in use didn't want to keep putting end caps on and into my case. The ep's I was using more I had on the base of my dob I covered them in a cloth and didn't get any more dew on them before I used them. But living where I am they tend to dew up in the focuser within minutes
  15. Hi stardaze I had a tray with 2 fans in it , for cooling down my laptop I attached hair bungees for no vibrations and use a power pack to keep it running
