dew

Hi Pat
if its any help i was also in my backgarden.. on the central coast last night and the dew was unbearable..i am very new to this but i had to give up, i kept wiping the eyepiece etc.. but even when all was clear the resolution of stars etc was not great...compared to the few other nights i have been out viewing was a nightmare. The air seemed "thick" and it was hard to succesfully resolve some objects...
Even tonight was better...
I think due to the heavy rains their is so much moisture in the ground/air and it just covered everything...i noticed the streetlights looked almost as if shrouded in fog....It was thick dew!
cheers
steve
