A really nice image. Well done.  |
Hi Richard,
Thanks for your comment. Sorry about hearing your issues with the ZWO071. I guess you did return it? I got mine about the same time as yours, second half of last year. I had no dew issues. And I am in an area with high air humidity. What I did, from day one, was to keep the camera inside a container while not imaging (see the attached picture). It has a tight lid and inside I keep like 10 - 15 dissecant bags. From time to time, like one week, I dry the bags for 2 minutes in the microwave (actually, I got a 100 dissecant larger bag). I learnt this from someone in Cloudy Nights. Maybe was this, maybe just luck..
I hope it helps, regards, Fernando
