Geoff,

Try the passive methods of controlling dew. We spend an awful lot of time getting our scope at ambient temperature so why would you add a heater if you don't absolutely need to. Try a tube extension/dew shield and a fan pushing the air up the tube. Since using both these methods I have not had any dew problems.

Give them a go......
