Most dobs don't have enough extension of the tube on the front. And the back of the truss dobs are typically wide open. Using a darker shroud that blocks more light helps too. It doesn't make a huge differance, but any little bit helps. -------------------- Starmaster 14.5 Hybrid/Sky Tracker TV 60 Post Extras       Entire thread Subject Posted by Posted on Share your DSO observing techniques Olivier Biot 07/13/08 08:18 AM Re: Share your DSO observing techniques PeterSurma   08/02/08 07:20 PM Re: Share your DSO observing techniques Jeff Morgan   08/02/08 07:33 PM Re: Share your DSO observing techniques JohanK   07/17/08 11:48 AM Re: Share your DSO observing techniques xfile101   07/17/08 01:06 PM Re: Share your DSO observing techniques Jeff Young   07/17/08 01:28 PM Re: Share your DSO observing techniques desertstars   07/18/08 02:38 PM Re: Share your DSO observing techniques Lard Greystoke   07/28/08 11:28 PM Re: Share your DSO observing techniques GlennLeDrew   07/29/08 02:30 AM Re: Share your DSO observing techniques AZStarGuy   07/29/08 12:11 PM Re: Share your DSO observing techniques rogerandgarf   07/29/08 06:38 PM Re: Share your DSO observing techniques Jeff Morgan   07/29/08 08:56 PM Re: Share your DSO observing techniques mv1000   07/29/08 09:51 PM Re: Share your DSO observing techniques GlennLeDrew   07/30/08 07:21 PM Re: Share your DSO observing techniques MessierScott   07/14/08 06:11 PM Re: Share your DSO observing techniques astrokido   07/14/08 06:45 PM Re: Share your DSO observing techniques Mr. Bill   07/15/08 11:38 AM Re: Share your DSO observing techniques Jeff Morgan   07/14/08 12:16 PM Re: Share your DSO observing techniques Jeff Young   07/14/08 06:11 PM Re: Share your DSO observing techniques rodelaet   07/13/08 12:24 PM Re: Share your DSO observing techniques John Kocijanski   07/13/08 09:43 AM Re: Share your DSO observing techniques galaxyman   07/13/08 01:28 PM Re: Share your DSO observing techniques SaberScorpX   07/13/08 07:24 PM Re: Share your DSO observing techniques galaxyman   07/14/08 12:16 AM Re: Share your DSO observing techniques stevek   07/14/08 02:45 AM Re: Share your DSO observing techniques dengwer   07/14/08 11:58 AM Re: Share your DSO observing techniques Mr Q   07/13/08 07:40 PM Re: Share your DSO observing techniques moron392   07/13/08 08:57 PM Re: Share your DSO observing techniques Phillip Creed   07/13/08 09:13 PM Re: Share your DSO observing techniques Josh U   07/13/08 08:45 AM Extra information 1 registered and 2 anonymous users are browsing this forum.
