oldfruit Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 My refractor has dewed up on a couple of occasions, though as you said Dave, due to the lense being so high off the ground with the use of the tripod extension, it usually takes a long time before dew is a problem. At least that has been my experience. I think i will see how i get on with it on the colder nights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
