Big K, did you notice any evidence of the dust storm in Chryse? My views were terrible until I got the fan running, then everything became tack-sharp. I would advise anyone using a scope with passive mirror cooling, or not breaking-up boundary layer in front of the mirror with a fan, to allow several hours of cool-down time before expecting the best views. As an aside, for some reason the green laser beam was extraordinarily bright last night, here in the suburbs. I'm thinking that humidity might boost visbility as much or more than suspended particulates. --- Canopus56 <canopus56@yahoo.com> wrote: __________________________________ Yahoo!
