Since getting my new Pentax XWs I believe I've started to notice a pattern.
They need cool down time much like my telescope does. If the scope is cooled down enough, I can take my eyepieces warm out of the house outside and put my ortho's in without a problem. They just work. However, when I try this with my Pentax's I get that blurry feeling again, similar to mirror cool down issues. If I wait about 10 or 20 minutes (depending on how big the difference in temperature is) everything seems fine again. Have others seen this? It's not a big deal as I now just put my eyepieces out to cool with everything else. My scope seems to cool down in around a 1/2 hour and that seems more than enough for the eyepieces too. Just curious. Thanks, Mike. |
