Not sure if it works with the same way with the Luminos (assuming that's what came with your scope!), but if you twist the black rubber band around the middle of the eyepiece, the face pushes out making it much easier to use IMO.

Regarding dew, I find with my 11" once it gets beyond mid-80s I'm on borrowed time..I need a better dew solution for that one. The 8" keeps going like a champ though...hopefully your 9.25 will prove more like the latter. Still, without a shield and heater you were lucky to get that far with that humidity
Cheers Dunk, I had the shield on, so probably pretty normal considering...at least I know what the limit is now!

Yep I have the push out thingy ill try using that next viewing session...pretty sure its the Axiom you speak of (23mm) .

Will start looking into a DIY heater solution, can easily make one up. Also want to start adding some temp sensors and things to measure mirror and tube temps...hmmmm
