Hi matt

12V hair dryers can be bought from most camping shops, that's where I got mine. They come with cigarette lighter plug. It cost me about $25. Good for eyepieces, finderscope and secondary mirror.

There's no effective way to remove dew from the primary, though i've heard that if you have a fan blowing on the mirror it can keep the dew at bay for longer than if you didn't have one.

I've had dew so bad that water was literally running down my primary mirror (at Lostock!). It was time to pack it in and go to bed!
