I spent yesterday afternoon hidden behind a straw bale waiting for the roe to appear from the woods. My rifle, with Nikon Monarch 6-24x50, sat on top of the bale.
Every 5 minutes or so I would look through the scope into the woods and all was fine.
After about an hour I looked through the scope and could see nothing. The scope had completely misted up. Not on the inside, I'm glad to say, just the outside of the glass.
Yesterday was cold and dry.
2 questions:
Would this be down to the heat coming from the bale?
Is there some kind of magic solution I can use to clean the glass and reduce misting?
I'm sure spectacle wearers have similar problems when coming into a warm house from the cold outdoors.
