If your problem remains past my suggestion I can not offer any other input.

Alex, your suggestion is sound and makes perfect sense. It was one of the troubleshooting steps I was going to undertake in my next imaging session anyway as I have bought a Dew shield but yet to use it.
I also suspect that my Flat frames will need to be updated which might help mitigate this further in post production.
