Killing or removing a cockroach
|
I recentely attached an old Crayford focuser to my C-8, Last night when setting up I noticed a cockroach crawling over the inside of the corrector plate. Anyone have any ideas on how to extract, kill, remove the cockroach I have some gel-bait based on boric acid but I'm not sure it's a good idea to use the near coated optics. Should I I remove the corrector and clean the corrector and mirror as a precaution?

If you have the scope with the removable secondary just take it out and point the scope down. I would get it done? before he starts doing his business. Gary Carpe Noctem Sent from my space ship via my LG V10 Phone

Don't use any chemicals. Instead, check the instruction manual for info
on how to remove the corrector plate. Remove the roach, then replace the plate with all possible care. Just my advice. In the future, always keep the focuser covered, since the roach surely had no other way to get in. Roaches are wonderful and amazing creatures, but we don't want them in our telescopes!

? The roach is not dead! Removing it without first killing it might be difficult (It runs behind the mirror as soon as it is disturbed).

开云体育It’s available at many tire shops- doesn’t expand as much as air when
heated, doesn’t oxidize the inside of the tires. Find a shop that has it and
take some ballons. Dan
