That is the sort of dew issues I face almost nightly at Clayton. Good seeing, dark skies but bad bad dew issues. I have a heater on the secondary of the RC even in a tubed setup. It dews up. The TSA needs to have a dew heater on every night despite having a heater dew shield. Dewy sites need good dew amelioration.
