Re. A few observatory completion questions

Posted By Marc Zukoff
I was wondering about a few things for my 10X10 roll off observatory:

1) Is insulation reccomeded in the interior? Vapor
barrier?
2) Does anyone reccomend exterior paint on the
interior walls to keep out moisture?
3)What is the best way to keep humidity down?
De-humidifier? Light on?
4)Is an exhaust fan reccomended?
5)The flooring is wood and i was wondering about the adavantages or disadavantages of putting down indoor-outdoor carpeting



Thanks,

Flourite use in apo's?

Posted By Marc Zukoff
Hi,


Can anyone provide some of the advantages for the use of flourite
in apo's?
Assuming two scopes of identical aperature, one a flourite with a
slightly faster focal length and the other an ED lens(both meet abbe
criteria), would one see a differnce at the eyepiece?
Is flourite less durable over time? More fragile?

Thanks,

Hi,


I live in N.J. and was wondering how people deal with high temps and humidty in the summer. I have a roll off roof observatory. I was think about a window fan or a de-humidifier. Anyone run an AC?

Re. International postal money order ?

Posted By Marc Zukoff
Hi,


I recently sold a telescope to a person in Japan. The gentleman sent me the money as an international postal money order. I deposited the money into my bank account. After a few days I checked to make sure the money orders had cleared. The branch officer told me these type of international payements can have a problem even a month after depositing them. They could be fraudulent and take some time for that to be evident. Hopefully not in this case.
What type of payments are reccomended for an international tranaction?

Hi,


Anyone have a suggestion for an inexpensive alarm that I can easily install myself? Perhaps something that is wireless.
