Do you bake the disiccant to dry it out???? I cook my bags for about

Yes I have but it is like pushing a boulder up a mountain here.Enthusiasts
here in the Uk can only hang their tongs out in envy for the dry non light
polluted sites and locations you people enjoy in other parts of the world
and take for granted.
Last winter I left my Tak fs102 out for the one night the roof leaked and
the water entered the objective.I spent fours hours floating the objective
lense assembly out into an alcohol and water cleaning bath to recover the
glass clean again then re-assembled trembling while I did it.It is ok now
again..there are times when I need to have a scream i think I will do it now
in Klingon.
