Optics and MothballsPosted By Steve Dexter |
The outdoor shed where I keep my telescopes has often been burrowed under by woodchucks. A local manufacturer of portable buildings recently suggested that I sprinkle mothballs under the building to keep the critters away. Apparently, they don't like the smell. Even if that works, I'm concerned about the effect the fumes might have on my optics. Does anyone know if mothballs would damage the coatings on telescope mirrors and lenses?
Thanks, Steve.
