hairdryer is best, i don't like touching the lens much unless to clean etc
well done on the challenges, i will be keen to see how your 9mm goes on the likes of galaxies

so once I dealt with that (wiped with a cotton bud - is there a better way?) I tried one of the Feb. challenges, splitting Rigel, and was able to no problem at all with 9mm EP so I guess that bodes well.. btw, I also viewed Ghost of Jupiter for the first time - neat! (A good "Averted Vision" trainer!)
Tonight was the worst night for dew I've encountered so far, by the time I got inside the scope was literally dripping and even primary was completely fogged up. |
