Is Bigger really Better?

Hehehehe... I see a competition going on!!

Beautiful shots Yu! (but sometimes bigger does not mean better...)
In this case though, it is hard to tell... very nice shots indeed...

Clear skies!

Flocking a Meade 8" SCT

Posted By Ivan Gastaldo

Hello Johnny!

IMHO, I would consider flocking the inside of an SCT a very minimal benefit, but a very touchy procedure.
I think your best investment would be getting a good Dew Shield and flock the inside of it if necessary... leave your OTA alone...

My .02 cents, my friend...

Clear dark skies!
