Leaving Equipment out all night??
Hi!
I have a nice little setup and just recently got myself a ASI AIR PLUS - Its currently winter where I am and the nights drop to around 5 degrees C (41F). I have noticed every night all outdoor objects become wet/dewy/frosty by morning. When I am capturing I usually leave my scope out for 4 hrs then bring it inside, but I see so many people leaving scopes out on clear nights to get 8+ hrs of data. My question is How?! Is it okay for the equipment to get a dew layer on it? do I need to wait until summer? or will I never be able to leave it running all night? I don't want to damage my equipment but I just don't get how people can leave it out when everything outside is so fresh and wet in the mornings. I have a dew heater for the scope, but that's not going to keep the equipment dry
