Keeping warm at -6C?

Okay, so I was out last night to play with the hyperstar, and it got down to -6 last time I checked, the scope cap and everything exposed was covered in a layer of ice, and one was forming on me.

What do you folks do to keep warm in these situations?

Interestingly, the home-made dew-shield made from a camping mat kept the corrector plate completely dew free all night, I think the fan on the QHY8 coupled with the thick dew-shield helps keep slightly warmed air flowing over the front of the scope.
