Hi Trevor. I frequently suffer what you described. If the humidity is high
enough the scope and mount can get soaked. Sometimes, by the end of a session, I have water dripping off of the bottom of my Newt, and off the bottom of the finderscope. I just take it all inside, and wipe off the worst of it with a towel. The OTA suffers more than the mount because the tube's metal is thin, and changes temperature much more quickly.
Being plastic, the hand controller doesn't suffer quite as much as the
OTA either. I used to live in Rosebery, and it was even worse there than where I am now.
