Malcolm,
Thank you for that reply. With our limited experience we have not come across the dew (due..lol) problem. At the moment I have an eyepiece box, I do have a rack on the tripod but I am always concerned about dropping an eyepiece, which is why I prefer the box on a table at this stage.
As for dew controllers, I am tempted to have a crack at making a dew controller as opposed to buying one. Some plans I have seen are very easy and cheap. I used to dabble in electronics years ago, so I know how to solder and build small circuits. The straps, I may buy, I am not sure yet as there are some simple plans for those as well.
As for the fan, that I feel would be the last one to attempt if needed.
Cheers,
Andrew.
