Astro zap dew straps - size?

[MarkF]

Just tried ringing FLO, answer phone again want to order some dew straps and the astrozap dual controller. But what size for my Equinox 80 and ST80, 3 or 4 inch? I am guessing these will have to go around the dew shield at the optic end, so is the size for the scope or the length of strap you need?

Hi Mark

I have a few from FLO, and the size is the size of the telescope, so you would need the 4" size.

Scope:)

Cheers Guys, 4 inch it is then

3" will fit most 80mm fracs ... you want it to go round the tube behind the extended dewcap, in any case there is a lot of tolerance & it doesn't matter if there is a bit of tube not covered by the heating element ... the elastic will go round nearly twice ...

Dave's right, you'd need a 4 inch strap, the three inch won't quite fit.
