12" Dob

Thought i would cover the silver on my 12" and sorta stuffed it up but its how it works not how it looks right ?

What did you covert it in, and why did you cover it?

btw those crayford focusers are tops!

[iceman]

oi and where did you put the iceinspace sticker!? I hope you didn't cover it up! :)

[frogman]

i would like to be able to look through my EP with both eyes open but when i did on our night all i could see was bright silver even in the dark.....

i have two stickers left Ice.... they will go back on ! :D

just as well, youdont want to upset mike!! :P

well the black should do the job then. I find after a hard nights veiwing my non-viewing eye gets tired of being closed all the time. I have thought of using an eye patch on it.

[frogman]

Toying with the idea of covering the entire tube with it !

[ving]

just watch you dont trip over it at night then :P

[frogman]

that looks awesome!!!....I kinda went for the same idea, only I did it by sticking a felt-like material on my 12" gso. I found the same thing happened when I looked into the eyepiece also.

Frogman,

What did you cover it with and how did you attach it?

Cheers

The black does look good but i agree with "vings thought" the eye patch would be the way to go. I would hate to bugger the paint job up as it may not be in ones favour when selling the scope time comes around.
