Giving the system a poncho style thing will create an insulation effect to a degree and although it will eventually cool down the dew should almost entirely collect on the external part of the poncho as opposed to mount and telescope.

I am thinking about leaving the imager exposed because of the fans keeping the airflow going around that area.
