First buy a dew shield, this will help prevent dew for some period of time. You may also need to buy a dew heater for the scope. Depends on where you live.

DO NOT leave the scope pointed up toward the sky for long periods of time.

Bring the scope outside at least 1 hour before you are going to use it. This lets the optics reach ambient temperature which will give you better views.

Here is a retailer that sells a dew shield and dew heaters: Bring the scope inside for a day or two and see if the dew "inside" the tube vanishes all by itself, before you decide to open it up. The corrector lens must be reinstalled in the EXACT position it was in before you removed it.

Canon XF300 issue. I have an XF300 and the front glass has fogged up on the inside a couple of times in bad weather.. Was using the camera indoors.. Anyone any thoughts?

There is air inside those lenses and if you go from one extreme to another temp wise you can have moisture condense on the inside of the lens. Gotta wait for temps to equalize for "fog" to go away.

Windscreen keeps misting when car is parked

Is it fogging up when you use the heat or a/c? Is it fogging up after sitting outside on a particularly dewey night?

An easy fix and one to try first is turning the temperature gauge over toward heat, and setting the directional controls to defrost. Up the power on the blower for a moment. The warmer air will usually clear up a foggy windshield in seconds on a chilly or even not-so-chilly morning. The condensation on the glass needs a change of temp in order to evaporate. Sometimes you can get the same effect by using outside air to circulate through your car's blower system. Most have a way of circulating either inside-car air, or outside-car air.

If the glass fogs when you're driving down the road and have the heat on, or the a/c - do you smell something sweet or see white smoke coming out of your air vents? If so, you could have a faulty heater core. I wouldn't imagine this is the problem on such a new vehicle, but it could still malfunction.

Of course, if you're trying to wipe this fog clean and it won't go away, maybe you've got someone smoking in the car and leaving a film on the glass. It would take a lot of smoking to make the windshield look foggy though.

I TOOK THE EYEPIECE APART TO CLEAN IT AND HAVE THE LENSES OUT OF ORDER, WHAT IS THE CONFIGURATION OF THESE LENSES? CELESTRON 114.

NEVER EVER disassemble an eyepiece --- no one can tell you how the lenses go together there are dozens of combinations and some eyepieces have as many as 6-8 glass lenses inside!

Sorry buy another eyepiece and only clean the outside surfaces.

Fogged up

What is happening is, when the scoped hunting firearm is stored inside the night before the hunt and its warm inside the house and when you go outside in the cold, the scope fogs up. Much like someone who wears glasses, when they are inside a warm house and they go out in the cold, their glasses fog up. The way to prevent this is to store the gun outside the night before the hunt where it's still secured but cool like the outside. Lock it in the trunk of your car or a locked tool box in your truck. In this way, the scoped hunting firearm will be about the same temperature as the cool outside air and it will not fog.
