Dealing with Satan's Spawn?
How does everyone go with dealing with these little pests?
The forecast for Melbourne tonight is for high level cloud and strong upper atmosphere turbulence so seeing should be pretty bad. In saying that, I have thought about taking my 4" for some visual or even doing some wider field imaging (large pixels) where seeing isn't that important.
Instead I am sitting inside, why? Mosquitoes! I am one of those people that must have sweet blood. So much so that this time of year (mosquitoe plague due to the heat after all the rain) that by the time I have finished setting up the telescope my hands have started swelling up from 2-3 dozen bites. Taken 5 days for the swelling on my right ear to go down!
So, how do people manage Satan's spawn?
