127 Mak dew shield

[Rob]

Anyone know where I can get a good dew shield for my Skywatcher 127 skymax Mak.... the flexi Mead jobby is turning out to be a little rubbish!!... the velcro is lifting (now just re-replaced). Is there a solid style one on the market?.

I used the Meade but used industrial staples to keep it where I wanted it, worked fine for me!

Rob, I got one for my 127 Mak from an American online astro shop ( the name escapes me for the moment, but I could find out). It was pretty cheap even with importing it to the Uk and it was an Orion (USA) with a velcro seam.

It was superb and I had no problems with it ( or dew, for that matter) and I would reccomend it.

Cheers, bob.

The Orion one costs 19.99 £ and I shall try it out. Let's see.

I have the Astrozap from FLO for my Mak and it hasnt let me down yet! (or....how would I be sure it's doing anything if I use it every time )
