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

<P>For what it's worth, I found the best price for the Meade ten-inch dew shield at <A href="http://www.astroptx.com">www.astroptx.com</A>.&nbsp; When I received it, it was fairly out-of-round.&nbsp; Carefully applying a little pressure to the dew shield brought it back in-round.&nbsp; I like mine.&nbsp; It keeps the dew off and there's a lot of it here in the winter months in the Pacific NW.&nbsp; It is somewhat heavy and you'll need to balance it out with weights.&nbsp; I mussed over all the options from other companies and the fact that I could make one myself.&nbsp; I'm glad I chose the Meade.&nbsp; Besides, it makes your scope look really big, and the neighbors will be in awe about the size of your scope.&nbsp; And, isn't that part of being an amateur astronomer... looking cool!</P>

<DIV></DIV>&gt;
<DIV></DIV>&gt;I am considering buying the meade dew sheild for my 10" LX200 mainly for the
<DIV></DIV>&gt;lens shade than actual dew protection.
<DIV></DIV>&gt;
<DIV></DIV>&gt;Anybody using this and found it to be useful as a stray light protector? Am
<DIV></DIV>&gt;I throwing away money here when I could make my own easier?
<DIV></DIV>&gt;
<DIV></DIV>&gt;Thanks all.
