Personally I have very little problem with dewing of my objective. (The 20"
mirror is protected by LOTS of tube).

I do have problems with my eyepieces and occasionally with my diagonal. I have
cured this by having a very low wattage heater on the diagonal. I also have
a homemade heating element available near the eyepiece. If dewing is a problem
I simply turn it on and wrap it around whatever eyepiece I am using at the
time.

Finally I have a electric heating pad attached to my ladder. When my eyepieces
are not in use I have them in a homemade block of wood drilled for 1.25" and
2" attached to the ladder (where the paint would normally go.) The heating
pad gets plugged in and goes over the eyepieces.

This works great.
