Well for planetary I just use an ordinary hair dryer, giving the corrector a blast between capture runs. I let the image settle so that I can see good detail again and then capture. I usually get about 5 minutes between blasts. Using a dew prevention system is counter productive for planetary work. It sets up too many tube currents and at high mag you don't want that upsetting your data collection. Besides I found that I needed two dew straps just to keep the dew a little at bay and then the tube currents were woeful. The system I was using was the dew buster system.
