Dew heaters & misc fiddling

Cloudy for the last week, and forecast cloudy tonight.
Went out during the day and did a bit more work in the dome,
installing dew heaters on the primary scope, guide scope, and finder.
Winter’s cold is about to arrive (-16° tonight), so I wanted the dew
heaters in place to fight frosting on the rare nights it’s clear
and I am willing to brave the cold and go outside.
Both tomorrow night and the next night are forecasting possibly
clear (I’ll believe it when I see it).
Full moon too, but narrowband imaging will still be possible.
