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
Hi,
I have a very interesting lecture about Dew, Frost, causes and solutions. Also discussed are some similar issues as mentioned with soft objects !

I have to wonder why you would be using a remote observatory and not have any sort of monitoring camera.
Shucks I use one on mine and it is only ~75 feet out back. (wireless WiFi) Solar.)
Do you monitor the weather at the location?
