Hi People.
I have a problem with my Meade LX90-10" ACF.
It is not working correctly. I cannot see any stars through the telescope.
The last time this happened I fixed the problem by removing the corrector cover.
Now this fix no longer works.
Last night I set up and pointed the telescope due north and level, and did an Easy Align. The scope slewed to Sirius, but Sirius was not visible in either the finder or the main scope. No stars were visible anywhere. I checked the alignment of the finder by focussing on a distant streetlight and the finder was OK.
The scope is also getting wet when I take it outside. Previously this did not occur. My dew heater is unable to remove all the moisture. I am having a lot of trouble with moisture - my Farpoint dessicant plug is soggy and does not look good.
Any thoughts on how to fix this problem would be appreciated. Unfortunately the scope is out of warranty by about one year, and the suppliers have indicated they cannot help.
Regards,
Tony Barry
