I really enjoy reading your reports goober. I get inspired enough to add some of the things you report to my viewing list.

I had the same dew/fog problem with EP's last night starting about 12:30am. I had to pick out my 3 favorite EP's and keep one in each coat pocket to keep warm with their caps on and one in the focuser. As the one in the focuser started to mist up I'd swap it out for a warm one.

By the time Saturn was high enough for me to observe my scope was dripping wet and I had been eaten alive by the mozzies, even with the repelant on.

However, seeing Saturn for the first time through my new 10" made it all worth it. For the first time I could actually see moons around Saturn as well as the Cassinni division. I'm looking forward to a night with better seeing.
