Tried the new shield last night , its great to have it feel like its something part or extension of the scope instead of a add on . Had some gusty wind to contend with last night so it was good to compare the flexitype to the solid metal one , both of course impart vibrations but the metal one was better .Mick has done a great job with the paintwork too, inside the tube is a nice matt black which even Shelob would find inviting {LOTR character
}.Later in the night dew started to develop on the dew shield , the flexitype has better repellent properties then the metal ones but placing my dew strap on the shield cured the problem , the corrector plate however remained dew free. For SCT fork users you ll need some counterweights to balance the scope even though Mick has made the sheild as light and rigid as can be plus in heavy dew conditions a dew shield alone shouldn't be considered as the standalone deterrent ....
vanity} and is a welcome relief from the flexi type one i have that is a bit arkward to fit on with dovetail plates and rails on the OTA. 
Good one Mick
