Hopefully its the same for you. It hasn't been enough of a bother for me to get dew heaters installed yet.

Greg.
Yes, I'll have the same. The shroud should minimise the need for heaters but on the worst nights (as you're saying I think) they'll still be necessary. My fans suck air down towards the mirrors too so on wet nights would this increase the risk of dew on the primary requiring the heaters? Also wondering whether it's best to run with or without the shroud.
