Yes it was a none event, tonight is the goer though!! I'm stuck in the city but Jupiter is coming up very nice in the 13mm and the brighter globulars and opens are crystal clear. The humidity here in Bris is well over 80% and earlier there was a ton of dew, a good test for my new homemade heaters, which came through with flying colors. All the other table top stuff, charts etc. got wet but the corrector plate stayed dry as a bone. Except for a bit when I pulled the shield off to adjust the collimation. It was off for about 15 min all up and that was enough to see the plate covered in dew. I put the shield back on and pointed the scope at the ground, to trap the heat in, and 15 min later it was all clear again.
