It happens!! The 17.5" Coulter mirror I mentioned above sits in a classical type mirror box with no shroud around the trusses and it dewed up two nights running around 2-3am in then morning only a month ago in October. I've seen plenty of dewed secondary mirrors but this was the first time I had seen this scope dew up like that, and it wasn't even a particularly cold and dewy night.
