Mick, that's great that your giving a %age back to the site. Highly commendable.

they're made from .6 gauge galvanised steel so even if they scratch they wont rust, weight for a 10" shield is 1050 grams.

Mick - I'm interested

Is it still worth getting a dew heater as well - or does this system make that superfluous ?

it really depends on your situation, if you have both you have a perfect solution, where l live we have had very heavy dew lately and the shields are very effective with no moisture getting to the corrector lens, another benefit of the shield is the blocking of stray light in built up areas.

Mick - you in Brisbane ?
Perhaps I can call past and pick up an 8" version in the next week or 2 ? Standard Meade Lx blue.
