Hi All
Thanks for all you info, there is a lot to think about!! I am heading up to Snake Valley in a few weeks so i will be looking at everyone’s setup, as Andrew and myself have seen, there is a lot of info to digest and a lot comes down to personal experience with their setup!
One thing I had never thought about, that Alex mentioned, was a way of keeping eyepieces warm before use, which now makes a lot of sense, will need to add that to my list of ever growing accessories.
I grabbed a secondary heater from bintel as Malcolm mentioned, Eric, I like the idea of the direct secondary mirror heating but I am not confident enough to install one, at least not yet! The Dew-Not straps I have ordered, a very good price compared to the others. As for controllers I will be using a couple of dumb pwm controllers for the time being, eventually I would like to buy/build one based on a microcontroller which can calculate dew points and adjust temps automatically..
Cheers
Andrew
