Learn More About the Apertura 6" Dew Shield
Read on to discover how Apertura has carefully crafted this dew shield to provide your astronomy outings with a premium level protection!
Rugged ABS
Providing the backbone of the Apertura 6"
Dew Shield for Classical Cassegrain is premium ABS. Flexible, durable, and
thermally insulating, ABS provides your Apertura 6" Classical Cassegrain
with a rigid wall of protection against the elements when installed, and a
flat, flexible sheet when your session is over. This rugged material is also
resistant to the elements, ensuring your shield lasts for years to come!
Dew and Light Shield
Apertura has paired ABS backing
with an excellent felt flocking lining for an effective barrier against the
outside elements. This combination acts as a wall against the outside air,
providing passive dew protection by helping trap a pocket of air in front of
your telescope's front element. This extends the time it takes for dew to
form on your optics, allowing you to enjoy an entire session free from
moisture or helping an active anti-dew solution work more efficiently. The
additional cone in front of the optics also makes light's barrier to entry
higher, helping stop sources of off-axis light from hitting your optics and
lowering contrast with the flocking halting any light that does pass from
reflecting off the shield itself.
Telescope Compatibility
This dew shield has been
designed specifically for the
Apertura 6" Classical Cassegrain Telescope. Simply overlay the sections of hook and loop to lock the shield in a
cone, and slip the shield over the front of the telescope tube while lining
up the notch with the mounting bar of the telescope. A strip of foam
provides the gentle pressure needed to keep the shield in place, and
protects your telescope's finish!
