How much longer?
How much longer will this heat and humidity last? The last few night trying to look at the planets was like looking at them underwater, way to fuzzy, as such i decided to pack the OTA away ( in the box it came in with a large desiccant bag ) and wait it out until the weather changes for the better.
Its been so hot and humid in our unit i did not want to leave my scope sitting setup in the corner, but at least its getting cooler in the evenings so there is hope, meanwhile i decided to make a desiccant cap for my SCT, a few weeks ago i asked a local camera shop if they could save a couple of film cannisters for me should they ever get any, they said we never get them, three weeks later they called me, i went in a few days ago and they gave me a bag of about 50 film cannisters!
I just made several holes in one placed two desiccant saches inside and placed it into the rear visual back, seems o.k, mind you i have a "real " desiccant cap on order from Bintel, as the humidity has been so high i thought i should get one.
Looking forward to winter!
Hope viewing conditions are good for Mars mid April?
