I just keep my case tightly closed and a couple of chosen eyepieces in my pocket. I do use a dew band on my eyepiece when the dew is bad or it's below zero.

Well, that’s no fun 😅

I knew it! there had to be another eyepiece sucker out there!

I keep a small, folding, Japanese fan in my pocket and fan the eyepiece.

It clears the fog without the giant sucking sound.😄

Does he say “you’ve got the best Pentax eyepieces”, Don?

LOL.

You know what I meant, but your response is funny.

It points out the imprecision of the English language at times.

I have just found this thread while sitting with my work PC updating itself.

Perhaps with all this lens licking and eyepiece sucking going on,
then a Therapist could specialise in such issues and help the Astro community no end.

I thought you’d been conspicuous by your absence on this vitally important thread, Alan 🤔

I have to confess, I have tried that recently (no one was watching) and found it works, but not every time. I was thinking of using one of those little battery powered hand held fans.

Anyone else tried one?

I reckon there are a lot of "eyepiece sucker's" here and around the world. Make of that statement what you will! 😆
