bish Posted May 6, 2011 Share Posted May 6, 2011 Hi all,I currently use an astrozap dew shield on my EQ mounted scope, which works great. I now have a dob on order - can you use them on the end of a dob or will the extra weight just unbalance it? thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twotter Posted May 6, 2011 Share Posted May 6, 2011 I have an Astro Engineering shield fitted to my 200P dob. No balance issues at all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spaceboy Posted May 6, 2011 Share Posted May 6, 2011 I use one on my dob and it will add to collective weight of Ep's, telrad and finder but TBH you will find you want some sort of counter balance system anyway. There are discussions about this in the Dob owner section or http://stargazerslounge.com/equipment-discussion/138935-counterweight-flextube.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damo636 Posted May 6, 2011 Share Posted May 6, 2011 I have a home made camping mat job on my dob. No problems either... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bish Posted May 6, 2011 Author Share Posted May 6, 2011 Thanks for your replies. If I take the dob to kielder a dew shield is going to be essential. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
