Warning!!
When not in use, store your scope with dust caps ON.
Rogerio Marcon shared these pictures of a 10"Dob that wasn't stored correctly.
I bet the views were sweet though.

I'm combing my mind for a good pun but can't settle on one. So rather than droning on I'll buzz off.

Does that make you "queen" bee?
