Yawning Angel Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 Just saying hello - I'm Alex from Chorley, and fairly new to astronomy. I've a Celestron 8" SCT on their AVX mount, which seems to give equal parts joy and frustration :-) Joy when I first pointed it at Jupiter; frustration when it first fogged up! Now in the process of building a power tank and acquiring some dew control, ahead of the autumn evenings Alex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michael.h.f.wilkinson Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 Welcome to SGL, Alex. I have a predecessor of your scope, the GP-C8 (C8 on the Vixen Great Polaris mount), which has been my main scope for nearly 20 years. I find a dew shield is sufficient nine times out of ten. A dew strip is needed only on very long sessions, and in very humid conditions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
