So what can you expect from Neighbors Beyond? Well first off, info about all things up in the sky and most importantly photos (and video) of cool stuff. So with out further delay, let's get started....
My first piece of equipment came today: The AstroZap Flexible Dew Shield ($26.36 @ telescopes.com)
So what the heck is a dew shield? Well first off, dew is "water in the form of droplets that appears on thin, exposed objects in the morning or evening. As the exposed surface cools by radiating its heat, atmospheric moisture condenses at a rate greater than that of which it can evaporate, resulting in the formation of water droplets." (thanks Wiki!). So what a dew shield does is delay the onset of dew for those few hours you'll have enjoying your telescope. If you are just buying a scope, remember to get one of these!
