Re: Operation in the cold
I live in eastern Ontario where it occasionally gets pretty brisk. I have imaged with my GM8 down to around -10C (14F). Things work, silicone cables are a tad stiffer. But the astronomer is finding it

Re: Operation in the cold
I live in the Buffalo area. It has not been that uncommon to hit 0 degrees

It was actually in Endicott, NY in late November/early December some years ago (early 1980s if memory serves). I arrived on a Sunday with quite pleasant temperatures in the mid-late 60s F, and a

Re: Operation in the cold
Last night in Ohio it was 5 above and I had a good night of imaging with my G11.? There was a 5 to 10 mph breeze that seemed to keep the mirror on my newtonian from frosting.? Everything went really

Re: Operation in the cold
Thanks for the feedback. I wimped out and opted not to set up as the temp is dropping past 5F already. Didn¡¯t relish the thought of schlepping stuff out there, adjusting PA, etc., even though I can

Operation in the cold
What's the tolerance of mounts, and other gear to cold temperatures? We have had lows in the single digits and below zero (F) here in Indiana, as elsewhere, lately. I'd love to take advantage of the
