Precautions against dew/moisture

Hi,

I've just had the scope out in the first really cold night and noticed the amazing amount of mositure/dew on everything and wondered....

should I be doing anything special when I pack up and move the scope from the cold night air to the relative warm of the house? What about lenses and other gear?

Will the moisture run down in the inside of the scope and settle on the mirror causing spots etc for instance?

I'm using newtonian scopes without any form of dew shield.

many thanks

niko
