Not exactly an earth shattering revelation.
As the more advanced astrophotographers amongst you will have noticed, we don't stuff our optical tube assemblies with clothes and fill them with water. However, some people in our hobby have a mentality that telescope equipment should be like a washing machine. You bring it home. You install it. You read the instructions, and then it works first time and every time, performing its mundane task without variation.

I've now got the replacement IR filter for my Canon 350D DSLR camera. Last night Pete and I did the filter swap.
It is over two years since I published my results concerning the breakthrough modifications to a SC long exposure toucam webcam which finally cured all the problems relating to amp glow.....

I felt my new canon 350D DSLR deserved a tripod. Not for astrophotography (well, except for star trails) but for terrestial shots.
