You can also use the anti fox treatment they put on your car winshield at jiffy lube. That stuff works really good.

Of course spit works fine too. Quoting Chuck Hards <chuck.hards@gmail.com>:
I have a silcone-based anti-fogging solution meant for safety glasses that works rather well. I'll talk to Bruce about testing it on the SPOC Telrads and if he gives the go-ahead, I'll apply it. The Telrad optics are just acryllic plastic. Hopefully it will make a difference. None of the Telrads have the pivoting dew-shield apparently.
While the manufacturer states that the solution won't harm optics, I don't want to try it on the large finderscopes. If the dewcaps are working, there's no reason anyway.
Good report, Kurt, thanks. Was the neighbor's dog behaving itself?

Fogging on the Telrad, but not other finders was a problem. _______________________________________________ Utah-Astronomy mailing list Utah-Astronomy@mailman.xmission.com http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/utah-astronomy Visit the Photo Gallery: http://www.utahastronomy.com
