Lens defogger for nighttime photography?

Is there something safe that can be sprayed on the lens to keep condensation from forming?

I was working on some time time photographs of the starts and my lens keeps fogging up on me.

Make sure you spray it on a cloth then wipe.  Don't spray directly on the lens.

Most of this stuff has such high alcohol content, that it evaporates very quickly.

A clear filter that has been treated with shaving cream out of a can. I find that Barbisol works the best. You just put it on rub it in, and polish. The only thing I use shaving cream for is coating my bathroom mirror so I do not have to wipe the steam off of it after a shower. Do not believe me try it on your mirror first. :lol:
