I have. One humid summer evening in the '90s, I was working as the stills photographer on the set of a movie up near Rome, Georgia USA. As the evening cooled off, the humidity in the air condensed on everything. If it wasn't covered, it was wet! Everything except for my Nikon D70 camera and lens. I suppose that was because the camera was battery operated and therefore just a bit warmer which didn't allow condensation to form. Now that I am aware of the problem, I keep an eye on the temperature and humidity predictions before heading out.
The people who are into telescopes have available to them devices to keep the tubes warm so condensation won't form in the wee hours of the night.
I'm well aware of the phenomenon, but for a long time I lived in south GA where it almost never got that cold to begin with. And it doesn't up here everyday either. Anyway, a heater thingy from Amazon arrived yesterday. It's not big enough for my telescope but I'll deal with that another day.

I like those.
Take Two in my backyard, no moon this time, but using the warmer I just got off Amazon. Just Orion rising, and a bit of play with tilt and a wider aperture. And most differently...my neighbor across the street left their back porch light on.
