Hello everyone,
Apologies to the beginner level question in advance. I've been imaging in south Texas for the last year and lately I've experienced issues with humidity and my lends gathering condensation around 3am, so 2 hours of shots are wasted. I have recently upgraded from a 51mm refractor to a 130mm refractor capturing with a ASI2600mm camera cooled to 0 degrees C (i'd go lower but -10 degrees makes my ASIAIR run at 100%). The cheap amazon dew heaters worked well for my small rig but now they don't seem to make any difference.
Has anyone else experienced this issue or have any ideas to resolve it? If it's as simple as buying better dew heaters or a heater controller, are there any recomendations for a 130mm scope?
Thanks,
Chase
