Description

I took the cocoon Nebula, a very bright Nebula in the constellation cygnus, at 98% moon. Conditions not good, but the weather was reasonably acceptable tonight. I struggled with dew on the telescope because the telescope was almost at its zenith.
After about 1 hour, so much dew had accumulated that the quality score in APP fell by half. With the help of a hair dryer it got better afterwards.
I believe that in the future I will need a heater for the dew cap.
