Dew - as if cloud and equipment issues ain't enough

[Gem (Grant)]

Hi

Been waiting weeks for a clear night to finally do some long exposure imaging (having finally sorted out balance issues). Dew has not been a problem lately... so I set up the scope and leave it running and running... only to find out that after the first 30 minutes - it was all dewed over!

And to make it worse - once I put the dew heater on: the cloud rolls back!

*big sigh* I will get it all together one night...

Yes, dew can be quite a chalenge if not taken care of - and then the clouds roll in - time to get equiped and tackle it head on.

All the best
Josh
