While you're here, how about checking out the Astronomy Book List ?

Been using my 416xte now for about 3 months without problems. But now all my
images are coming out very poor. 1) it's very hard to get a good focus. I
believe collmination is the problem there. 2) the image has severe 'blobs'
or speckles everywhere, I've cleaned all the filters and front off the
camera but the blobs remain. Is there some way that moisture has creeped
into the other side of the shutter? I live in a very humid tropical climate.
I suppose if the vacum has been breached i'll have to send it back to the US
for a recharge/cleaning. this is going to be very expensive if I've got to
do this 4 times a year... does anyone else have this problem? or does anyone
have a resource for cleaning the inside of the camera.

Thanks,
Bryan
