More About This Category

Designed with precision and innovation, this controller is pivotal in mitigating astronomers' most common challenge - dew formation on telescope optics. Dew, formed when moisture in the air condenses on a telescope's cold surfaces, can significantly hinder the clarity and performance of the optics, especially during prolonged observation sessions.

The Astrozap Dew Heater Controller addresses this issue by regulating the temperature of the telescope's optical elements through connected Dew heaters. Strategically placed on the telescope's lens and other critical components, these heaters prevent dew formation, ensuring uninterrupted and crystal-clear views of celestial objects.

An essential tool for astronomers, the Astrozap Dew Heater Controller controls the amount of heat that Astrozap Dew Strips radiate onto a telescope's optics. Without this controller, moisture may form on the mirrors and lenses, impairing the optics and making it difficult to see celestial objects. Because of its clever design, which guarantees accuracy and visibility even in the most complex meteorological circumstances, the Astrozap Dew Heater Controller is a vital instrument for astronomers.

High Point, make sure that you have all the things needed for sky viewing. These controllers boast user-friendly features, allowing astronomers to customize temperature settings and monitor the status of each heating element. These instruments maintain the optical integrity of telescopes and improve the stargazing experience for enthusiasts of all skill levels, whether they see far-off galaxies or planetary features.

We bring you the Astrozap Dew Controller for All Heat Bands and Flexi-Heat.This Astrozap dew controller is designed for 12-volt DC and features a low voltage warning, a 5-amp total amperage capacity, and a six-foot cord with a cigarette lighter plug end.

If you prefer not to purchase a dew controller, the Astrozap Simple DC Adapter for Dew Heaters is for you. Compatible with AstroZap dew heaters and flexi-heat dew shields.

Next to the list is the Astrozap AC Power Adapter, which converts AC electricity to DC. It allows you to power the Astrozap Dew Controller AZ-720 without a car battery or DC power supply.
