2) Let your telescope adjust to the outside temperature. The telescope will perform much better if the lenses and the air inside the tube are all the same temperature as the outside environment. This process may take up to 1/2 hour if there is a huge difference between the temperature inside and outside the telescope.
Keeping the dust caps on during storage of the telescope will reduce the amount of dust collected. After using the telescope there might be dew condensation on the optical surfaces. When the telescope is brought inside remove the dust caps and allow the moisture to evaporate naturally.
