I cant setup tonight due to work at 4am.. however I'll power the camera up and cool it to -10c or -15... if there is moisture in the chamber it should fog the optical window on the camera very quickly at those temps should it not? that would have to be the easiest way to quickly check if its getting wet in there?

Alex.

Alex,
Hope you get your dew issues sorted soon.
I have said it before and I'll say it again, I think the images are looking pretty good. I can't wait to see what you can do when all the problems are solved and the stars align (so to speak).

It will be very obvious, very quicky. As the cam then stablises, if there is any charge left in the dessicant, you will see the image improve from the center out, and the circle of OK ness will increase over time, say over 20mins, with a distinced dew ring expanding out.
