I've seen quite a bit of dew at my place this summer, so it may be more an issue of the temperature at Stansbury not dropping below the dew point during the nights. I think you are a hundred feet or so lower than I am, that may also play a part in it. But there's no doubt that it's been a dry summer, that's for sure.

I was just looking through my observing log and noticed that I've had the observatory open about 110 nights since the first of March and that on none of those nights did I experience a single event of dew on the scope's corrector plate.
I don't remember having made it through any other spring and summer before without dew.
It really has been dry this year.
So what are my chances of making through this coming winter with no frost? (not good)
