My newest scope "Bertha" at the Winter Star Party. She was a dew magnet, that's for sure. The new Celestron dew shield and dew ring helped, but the dew gods... look, it might as well had just rained on it - LOL. I did get some data on Mars. That Paramount MYT also did splendidly.

@cosmoscountrys1 @Celestron Seeing conditions are important, and I recommend that cooling fan from Starizona.

@cosmoscountrys1 @Celestron If your seeing conditions will support it yes. I was floored by how much more detail I could see with the additional aperture. It doesn’t look like a Chris Go shot, but there’s way more to see than in a small refractor. It didn’t look “as” good as my photo, but still impressive.
