Can anyone tell me how the dew shield attaches/detaches on a Skywatcher Pro Series ED80 (Gold tube)?
If I try to unscrew the dew shield, the front cell of the scope unscrews. If it does unscrew its very tight, but I don't want to force it in case I break it if it attaches some other way.
Can anyone post a pic of their ED80 with the dew shield removed so I can see how it attaches?
I have just received a nice shiny new Lunt LS60F and I need to make an adapter. It is much heavier than the SM40, so rather than the adapter fitting to the dew shield like the SM40 adapter, I thought I'd see if its better to support it direct from the cell... hence the question.;)
