Did you still have dew problems with the strap running?

Michael.
The strange thing is when the sky was clear, till around 11pm, it was dripping wet everywhere. I didn't have the heater on at that time as I was setting up and sorting out cables.
after 12 when I finally powered up, it was clouded over completely as expected, but there was no condensation even without the heater. I even removed the shield of the ST80, left it open for an hour, stayed clear. so did my finder.
I normally take it off and use the back of my wrist to gauge heat but it was barely warm.

I guess you're right, it may be working well.
I'll have to give it another try.
