Personally I stick my gear uncovered in a room with the ceiling fan on low until it is dry. However, nothing of mine has exposed mirrors.

OTAs get a quick once over with a hair dryer on low.

Nothing gets capped up until is is fully dry. If any optical surface accumulates a bit of dust during this time, it can be easily blown or rinsed off once there is enough to worry about.

No fungus or rust yet, and I've lived in marine climates since 2000.

You probably have less dust floating through the air in your house than you expose it to outside, unless you are a smoker or have the scope in the kitchen.

Regards,
Eric
