While you're here, how about checking out the Astronomy Book List ?

Last night I set up the my 10" LX-200 GPS before sun down and it wasn't too
long after that dew started forming everywhere.
I plugged in the dew zapper whose design I obtained from Scott Baker, and
the front corrector plate never fogged once.
As I said, the dew was dripping off everything.
The $20.00 or so I spent parts and the time to assemble paid off last night.
Thanks Scott.
P.S. I went with his modification to not include all the diodes and other
unnecessary parts and it works great.
