Soft images from remote observatory - clouds or dew on optics?

Hi,

I use a remote observatory, so I couldn’t physically check. But my images were very soft tonight. Maybe someone could tell me if this is clouds or dew somewhere on the optical train? if so, is it the sensor or on the lens?

Fog? And if fog, then probably dew too, on the lens.

Cheers,

Scott
