But avoid taking the scope straight from the heated house to the outside.
Keep it in the garage.
Or take it to an outside area that is undercover, an hour or two before you want to use it. That will allow it to come to the lower temperature slowly , so condensation won't occur.
Do the reverse when you take it back inside.
Not too much to worry about except for what you've already expressed. Condensation (dew) can cause your optics to be cloudy, but not permanently damage your telescope. I would suggest you get a Dew Shield for your scope. It not only helps draw the dew from your mirror, but also acts as a nice light baffle for stray photons (coming from undesirable light sources).
I hope this helps. Good luck.
Yes. No problem.. Make sure you have the scope outside before sunset and let it cool down before you used it. If the scope is warm it can cause your image to not look right
Keep the lens covered to prevent condensation
