[QUOTE="hexah, post: 842124, member: 333852"] That is cheating as the Fibo is a Gregorian dish! The manufacturers take the shadow into account when making prime focus dishes. However, I found they hold onto the rain and snow longer than the offset dishes where gravity helps to pull it off the dish. Of course the fact we are so far north that the offset dish face is almost vertical helps a lot, though an offset is still more vertical than a prime focus in the mediterranean and further south. But they don't get the rain or snow so much. :( But when they do a prime focus can come close to being a bird bath. [/QUOTE]
