Hey guys!
Tonight, I finally wanted to test the TouCam with my scope for the first time. I figured, work out all the kinks tonight, and be set for tomorrow's lunar eclipse! When i set the scope up at 5.30pm, it was still light, the moon was up...but when looking at the moon through EPs, the moon looked like it was floating...make sense? What could cause that?
ANYWAY, I went to the gym, came back and got the TouCam connected to the scope at 10pm...only to find that, due to the temperature drop, all my lenses, mirrors, you name it, had condensation on them. How do I stop that from happening? I read about "dew straps"...what are they, and do I need them? So unhappy!
At least last night I was able to check out the moon, as well as Jupiter and 4 of its moons. Was awesome!!
Any suggestions? If the temp. drops tomorrow, my photo ops are gone, and I'll be back to taking images with my digital camera.
Thanks!
