Dew Control on Transparent Dome

Post by solarblast » Tue Mar 08, 2005 12:18 pm

I use a 12" acrylic transparent dome for video observations. Is there an effective way to keep dew from forming on the outside? What does NSL use?

We usually recommend that domes are not used with the CONCAMs, because we have as of yet (that I am aware of) been unable to prevent dew forming on the domes.
