dew shields for dslr

Hi folks,

Beautiful clear night tonight so I thought to try some wide angle photography of the night sky. My first set of 12 images started out beautifully until dew gradually built up on the lens.

I wrapped a piece of cardboard around the lens and let it extend out a little. Tried another set. This one was a little better except for the clouds rolling in.

So ... any DIY tips for making a dew shield for a DSLR? I found that if I extended my cardboard roll too much it vignetted the image. Any tips/tricks?

Cheers,
Af.
