Hi Leo,
We have the same problem here, with LED they leave to light on all the night. I hope some regulation force them turn it off during night, for the birds and other animals out in the dark, and maybe some astronomers.

The dew is a problem, normally after 30 minutes I get dew on the front lens. I have installed dew heaters on the front lense, both main and guide telescope. Low power, about 1 Watt or lower.

Here are some:

Today most USB powered dew heaters in low power mode.
