[Solanum]

Previously I have used a 10" dob and leaving it outside to cool for an hour made a big difference to the view, with air visibly moving if I didn't. Now I have an SCT, but my reason for changing was to have something I could take out and use for relatively short sessions away from home (ie I can't take it out and elave it).

So my question: is getting the scope down to air temp as important for an SCT? Obviously, it still has air in it which can be influenced by the mirror/tube/etc., but as the tube isn't open maybe that isn't as big a deal?
