Fyrel Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 Do airflow tiles work with the telescope? I thought it was only mesh tiles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone mentioned recently that observations are in infrared and everything that transfers heat prevents observations. Ladders, mesh and airflow tails does not transfer heat so they do not prevent observations. EDIT: Just one hit for the OP. You don't need to cool Your telescope if it is in vacuum and it does not touch any debris that are hot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
