Had a nice outing with my little, new-to-me Celestron C90. Nice views of
Saturn around 9:15 or so, fighting the moonshine. Spent a long while with a 15mm and 9mm eyepieces and had 15 or 20 seconds of spectacular viewing with the 6mm. Enjoyed the moon for a long while, even took a couple of pictures with an ancient Canon FTb and some B+W film that my son was using in his photography class. He'll be surprized when he develops them! Lots of fun until a coyote howled nearby and I decided to pack it in.(I was about a 1/4 mile off the road in a clearcut- thanks for the 4-wheel drive!) Anyway, I live in Midcoast Maine and it was about 28 degrees when I packed up and headed home. My question: Should I do anything special to the scope and eyepieces when I bring them into the house? I have the scope with the diagonal in facing down and the lens cover off but a dust cover over the whole scope. The eyepieces are uncapped and under a loose cover to keep dust away... How dangerous is moisture/condensation to all of this? Never really crossed my mind until I walked into the house. |
