Condensation is even a problem inside an observatory. I run a dehumidifier and still have condensate forming on the chilled mount during the winter months.

This is a picture of my C9.25 with the telegizmos covers on... very well made and highly reccomended. I still use towels or other cotton cloths over the scope first to absorb any condensation.

all the best

Yep, I think I like the Telegizmo's covers. Where did you get it Paul?

Cheers,
Jason.

I'm looking at this too. I assume it's an online order deal

I bought it from

http://www.scopestuff.com/ss_t365.htm

They were quick and the prices were pretty good. If you don't want the 365 covers they also have the "solar scope covers" which are a bit cheaper

http://www.scopestuff.com/ss_tg12.htm

you will also notice that they have a dehumidifier

http://www.scopestuff.com/ss_ed33.htm

and the Dri-Rod dehumidifying rod

http://www.scopestuff.com/ss_drd2.htm

all the best

Paul
