During rain I would make a mistake if I forgot a dry towel. When the 2-5 lens is extended I use the towel to absorb the beads of water from the extended barrel. I've never detected fog or moisture inside it.
This nest is just past a sharp corner in the outlet stream to this basin. As I began entering the turn I was not aware of how close I would be to any loon nest. I would have felt responsible if this sitting/incubating loon slid into the water, and abandoned the nest.
The good news is that a single chick hatched from this nest and it flew from the basin in September 2023
