Ode to Kruppax

[dannybgoode]

OK there is absolutely no point to this at all however I am stunned by the properties of Kruppax.  The ground was icing up, the garden furniture was damper than a damp squib, moisture was literally dripping off the telescope and yet the objective, even without heating, stayed perfectly clear.  The stuff really is magic.  So I have written a haiku about it

Kruppax; phenolic

Disregard temperature

Refuses to dew

Yes. its very good. My scope was frozen last week, but the lens was clear. The handle was freezing, nearly stuck to my fingers when I took the scope back inside.

I agree. I've never had any dew issues with my 130mm F/9.2 even when the exterior of the tube has been running with moisture the objective has remained completely clear.

No photo of your scope John, it's not against the law is it? 😃
