Hello Mike, just trying to understand why you would place it there? I would think the bottom field lens would be the most likely to dew up. Do you know how far it protrudes inside the tube wall when focused? I guess if it gets cold enough you could get dew forming inside the upper section of the corrector as well so may be a good idea.
It appears that the corrector needs to be positioned out from the focuser/adapter - possibly you need a collar to clamp around the corrector so that it can be easily placed at approximately the correct focus position?
