Dew Shield - not my idea

[FrankieValley]

Hi,

I would give the guy some credit who gave me this idea, if I could remember where I saw it!

Cheap camping maps, cut to size and secured in a tube shape using self-adhesive velcro strips work a treat. I even made a diddy one for my finderscope :-)

Now I can use my hair dryer to blow dry my hair more often ;-)

David, it may have been Paul..? http://stargazerslounge.com/discussions-scopes-whole-setups/102734-dew-shield-made-camping-mat.html

Although using a camping mat as a dew shield has been mentioned on SGL a few times - it's a great idea!

Found it - it was Arran - http://stargazerslounge.com/discussions-scopes-whole-setups/86090-dew-problem-newt-reflector.html

Top idea from all those who have posted it before. Now I feel silly :-(

I started using this stuff over 30 years ago!

I'll have to go buy another mat now to make a new dew shield for my new scope. The scope is Celestron orange. Wonder if i can buy a matching mat.

I made one last year out of an old exercise mat for my 8 inch newt
