Newt/Mak-Newt and body heat

I'd like to know what your experiences have been with body heat affecting
your newtonian or mak-newtonian telescopes. I have found that during very
cold nights heat radiating from my body to the front of a MCT can degrade
images. I repeatedly moved away from the scope and always returned to find
the image a little steadier, then turning noticeably unsteady. This happens
when observing at high powers. Was it my imagination or have others
experienced this? What have you done to resolve the problem?
