Now this is an interesting notion.
Nobody had mentioned this in any posting on flocking.
I'd like to ask the rest of the group, "Would I get the same level of
increased contrast by flocking just the inside of the dew shield as I would
by flocking the inside of the scope?"
If it did, that would be great!
I always use my dew shield anyway.

I want to thank all of those that took the time to respond both in the
LX200GPS newsgroup and the Mapug newsgroup.
