Thanks Rob - yes, M1 was surprising. It just shows you the difference between dark skies and suburbia. I'm moving to Bright

Your dew solution seems ideal - I just got into the habit of uncapping everything at the beginning of a session and having it all within arm's reach. Another dark sky vs suburbia issue - you cool down much faster out of the city.
