Leaf Obstruction
Well I dont do much observing in the summer months (better things to do and it
gets dark too late for me) so its been a while for me. Last night I set the 90mm refractor outside and left it out there a half hour or so. First target - Mars. Shockingly dim. Whats up with this I thought so I swung it to the nearby moon. Dim and brownish looking and not a hint of purple color at all. Took the EP's and diagonal inside for inspection - nothing. Thought about bringing out a larger scope but decided to call it a night. Carried the scope and tripod in together and as I'm leaning it under the patio door out comes a crisp brown leaf from inside the dew shield. As it was raining leaves around me you would think I would have thought of the possibility. Do they make a leaf shield for telescopes like the things for gutters? Tony |
