Telescope Dew Shields & Dew Protection

 

So what can you do? Prevention is key. Equip your telescope with a dew shield to reduce the amount of cold air your telescope's lens is exposed to. Astrozap has a reputation for reliable, quality dew shields and produces a range to fit a wide selection of scopes. The Astrozap Flexible Dew Shield for Meade ETX 90 and Celestron C-90 Telescopes can also fit other telescopes with an outside diameter of 104mm and includes padding to avoid scratching the optical tube.

Do you already see dew? Use a dew heater strip to warm the lens surface and evaporate it. Dew-Not produces a range of heater strips for almost any size aperture. The Dew Not 8" Dew Heater Strip can fit any 8” aperture telescope, and with two-thirds of its surface emitting heat, you can be assured of an even heat distribution without any hot spots or burnouts.

Heated dew shields are the best of both worlds. They effectively prevent dew formation and ensure your lens stays warm all night long. Check out our selection of eyepiece dew heater strips to keep your eyepieces in tip-top shape. The Dew Not 1.25" Eyepiece Dew Heater Strip fits all 1.25” eyepieces and is also compatible with standard dew heater controllers.
