Moistons! that explains everything. Thanks Scott, now I know that it is all scientific and not supernatural!
Paul..sadly I got a whole bunch of stuff, LX90, Eyepieces, LPI camera, Carry cases, Equitorial Wedge, dew shield, etc, etc. This was a second hand setup, but actually brand new. Through circumstances that would take a while to explain, the scope had been purchased 4 years ago but never used. So it has remained in its box all that time. Obviously Cardboard makes an excellent Moiston sheild.
