Dew heaters? Rubber band or tape them by the edges to collector plate rings and such? -----Original Message----- From: az-observing-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:az-observing-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of Jack Jones Sent: Thursday, September 07, 2006 10:25 PM To: az-observing@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [AZ-Observing] Re: astro bag They have an expiration date on them. Old ones will still work at diminished capacity so get some fresh ones and use the old ones for dew heaters.

I buy a couple new ones every year out here and throw out the old ones. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Tony Muller" <acmuller1@xxxxxxx> To: <az-observing@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Thursday, September 07, 2006 9:46 PM Subject: [AZ-Observing] Re: astro bag > They'll last for years if not exposed to air. > > -----Original Message----- > From: az-observing-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx > [mailto:az-observing-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Andrew Goodwin > Sent: Thursday, September 07, 2006 8:52 PM > To: az-observing@xxxxxxxxxxxxx > Subject: [AZ-Observing] astro bag > > After reading the last two articles on cleaning out astro-bags I decided > to look at mine.
