Where I am I use the dew heater terminal on a Mount Hub Pro at full belt on both my FSQ and my RC12. No distortions seen as yet.

Now for your RHA I am not sure, there might be some tube currents.

I use also a Dew Buster unit. It was cheaper than the Kendrick and has worked flawlessly for years. I don't know if those are still available.
Sounds good. Thanks for the recommendation. The RHA only showed a bit of dew first thing in the morning and it did not show up in any images which finished at around 5am. I also did not use the scope fans. The 2nd night was windy so I took the dewshield off and this made it start to dew up a little much earlier. That was with the fans on. So it would be handy in that situation.

The thermal blankets help.

The Ceravolo has dew heaters and a controller built in so haven't needed the Dewbuster for a while, but it worked a treat on my FSQ-106ED. I like being able to use a temp sensor to dial in a controlled temperature delta.

Cheers,
Rick.
Thanks for the link. That looks good. I assume its compatible with Kendrick Premium heating strips.
