Dew

I took the scope out for the first time at my new place here in the Adelaide Hills and had some trouble with dew. When I was in Mildura dew only occurred in winter late on at night and I would just pack up then.

So, 1) is it worth buying/making some sort of dew shield for my GSO 10" dob to reduce the occurrence of dew on the secondary?

2) anyone know where I can get a battery powered hair-drier or similar to remove the dew from my telrad, finder (and secondary when it occurs)? It's a bit far to run a power cord from the wall to where I set up the scope.
