G'day folks

I just picked up a celestron 8SE. I presume that almost anywhere except perhaps out in the deserts requires a dew shield at least during winter? I'm based in Canberra which gets a bit of dew, but not super heavy as humidity tends to be low.

What about shield heaters? Would you need one in Canberra?

I only use the scope for viewing, not photography. Just trying to figure out what key things to pick up for the scope.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
Peter
