Thanks for the replies. I did leave all the caps off. I have a heater due shield that I will use when I use the big scope. It came with a laser collimater - which showed just a tiny offset - just before the battery went flat ! So I will have a ago at collimating when I get a new battery.

Hi, I am new here and new to the hobby. Two weeks a go a bought a NEQ6 and 190MN and lots of extras via ebay. Still getting used to everything. Last night I was getting used to polar alignment and guided tracking using just the small 80mm guide scope that came with the main scope. At midnight when I brought the gear back into the house there was lots of condensation forming on the lenses. I left the scope until morning before putting the lens caps on so that the water had evaporated. Is this the correct thing to do ? Especially when I start using the 190MN.
