Can you give a suggestion for a product to remove dew when the dew cap doesn’t work?

Fight Dew With A Dew Removal System

Even with a high quality commercial grade dew cap, if you stay out under the stars long enough, chances are, your telescope can still develop dew. In order to alleviate this problem, one thing you can do is purchase a dew removal system, available from most telescope retailers. A dew removal system is battery operated and works by heating up the lens back above dew point, preventing dew from forming. They attach to your telescope with the use of Velcro fastener. Kendrick and Orion make two widely known systems for dew removal.
