So I guess you've also experienced the sinking feeling as the humidity climbs over 90% and everything gets wet with dew.....

Indeed, I'm very fond of my gear

I've been in a dome for the last 8 years, so luckily dew has never been a problem for me since, never forms inside the dome, fog is the only moisture problem that can affect me but also luckily, this has not been a particularly huge issue at my current elevated site, north of Canberra. Before the dome though, yeah, you bet, dew was a bloody PIA I had good optics heaters, so the glass was always dry but everything else..sheesh! Packing up wet gear, then having to spread all my wet gear around the house to dry out before going to bed, was never popular...certainly not with the other half, that's for sure
