Heated Kitty sleeping bag for scope

Have been looking at these for awhile for popping on the end of the Dob when it starts fogging up. Not sure about the power supply - says low voltage power adapter. $20 posted, well, not much to lose if no good????

Anyone use something similiar??

Reading the review, they said it was more suitable for a kitten. So I'm assuming it's quite small.
The image depicting the product is obviously misleading.
Good idea though.

Yes, agree Liz, it looks like a good idea.
But I am not sure about the "noisy walls" !
Let us know how it goes.

There's a Mrs. Slocumb line there somewhere but I'll refrain...

Seriously, I'd love to hear how it goes, Liz.

A Dob that sounds like a rustling paper bag.

That will keep people guessing.

Well, it didnt fit my Dob, but it does fit my NEW Celestron CPC 800 which arrived today!!

Be interesting to try it out, dont have high hopes of course, a bit of fun.

... and it does rustle like paper when you move it.
