Thanks Lindon.

The things you mentioned happened (Dew, humidity, fog etc). Bugger, doesn't sound like there is much I can do in the interim.

Mars was very bright last night and this is where I was getting the beams of light coming through the eyepiece. It's a real shame. I'll keep persevering though.

I'll try the old eyepiece in the pocket trick. I know it sounds really basic but I keep mine on a rack on the scope so that is possible an issue. At least in my pocket they are out of the cold air (easier to get to as well).

As far as focusing with my eyes, I'd think maybe brightness from lights next door?
