When out last night with a friend and about 12 midnight the dew fell and foze instantly! What a mess. My finder and EPs and Telrad were iced. The DOB optics were not thank goodness. I used a hair drier to remove the moisture from inside the finder as it was dewed inside too. I also had to dry the Naglers and UWAs I had out. Everything was coated with ice, unbelievable! ;^)
Got good images of Saturn at 175X and Orion was great, but most of the sky sucked. It was fun but 30 minutes of de-fogging was not. :^(
Watch out for DEW POINT combined with rapid falling temperatures. :^)
