Ummm, for you obviously. 
I remember trying to image from inside the house one winter and having lots of trouble. Finally went back out to the scope and discovered the mirror had frost on it. Now this is a mirror housed inside an SCT! Prior to that I'd have thought the corrector plate would prevent moisture from getting into the scope. Evidently not.
