Tony,thanks for the comments. I’ve just aquired another re-con lap top and will take your advice and keep it running after returning it to the house after use.Eventually, I will run an observatory laptop or pc from the house, I can then enclose the computer into warmer, drier cupboard, which hopefully will reduce any problems.In returning to regular observing, I don’t recal the dampness being so prevelent when I regularly observed many years ago, yes there were some weeks, but it seems to be months now. B ut then I suppose the summers were warmer and longer and policeman didn’t seem so young and …..Cheers eric
