I am going to add a shield too I think to my next order. Have wondered whether a DIY shield for the RACI might negate a heated band being needed there? My RACI has a dew shield built in - but I might make up a longer foam one. Luckily the EP is removable, so I can keep it in my pocket. However, as someone else has said, you can just keep the end caps on when you're not using it. I'm going to go for a dew shield for the dob and keep my fingers crossed I don't need heaters. I can also keep my EPs inside if I need to - although I'm sure there will be complaints if I keep going and going with the doors open in the cold. As for the Telrad, I might knock up a quick heater/resistor. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going to get a little heater for the shed, which will be where my EP case is, so helpfully they will be ok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our garage has a workshop and there's this very old 70s style electric heater in it. I've never used it in the 20 years we've lived here. I don't think I'll start now, it'll probably burn the place down. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
