Thanks, it's easy to do.

Last weekend at the Snake Valley camp, it was a terrible dew night. I turned off my laptop and did observe, after midnite, some mild moisture on the front of the table and EP case under the hutch. My Pocket Sky Atlas didn't get damp and nothing back more than 10 cm from teh edge got any dew.

My advice is make it as small as possible, and perhaps even consider draping a thin blanket over it so it hangs down a bit over the front edge, to further block the emissions of things under the hutch. Mine is huge, really, to accomodate my greedily-sized EP case. But my original Dew Box in the states was much smaller, just for atlases, really.

The EP case itself could be outside the hutch if one just kept the lid down between EP changes, or installed some cheap heater under the foam padding. Could make the hutch smaller.

Good luck
