More About This Category

Dew formation on telescope optics can significantly impair image quality, leading to frustrating disruptions in celestial viewing. Recognizing this issue, Astrozap made it their mission to design a dew shield that provides physical protection for the optics and incorporates an advanced heating element to prevent dew buildup.

The ultimate in telescope accessories, Astrozap flexi heat dew shields provide astronomers with a creative and practical way to tackle the recurring problem of dew accumulation on telescope optics. The Astrozap flexi heat dew shields were developed through rigorous research and engineering. A Flexi-Heat Dew Shield is a flexible cylindrical cover that fits snugly around the front end of a telescope, serving a dual purpose in dew prevention.

The Astrozap Flexi heat dew shields are user-friendly dew shields designed for astronomers. They are easy to install and attach to telescopes without a complex setup. Available in various sizes, they ensure a tailored fit for optimal performance. The heating element can be powered using portable power banks or dedicated power adapters, making them compatible with various power setups. The adjustable heat settings allow users to fine-tune the level of warmth based on ambient conditions, ensuring effective dew prevention without unnecessary power consumption.

How does this flexi heat dew shield work?

Astrozap, a USA-based manufacturer, produces dew prevention tools with felt-lined material that absorbs moisture and prevents light. It also has an added dew heater strap for enhanced telescope optics protection. These impressive accessories work best on any telescope brand, such as Celestron, Meade, RASA, and many more! They cater to different dew shields, cap diameter ranges, and dew strap lengths.

Traditional dew prevention methods, such as absorbent materials or passive dew shields, may need to catch up in challenging conditions. The Flexi-Heat Dew Shield, however, offers a dynamic solution that adapts to varying atmospheric conditions. Its flexibility accommodates different telescope sizes and shapes, ensuring a universal fit for various instruments.

These shields provide astronomers the confidence to extend their observations well into the night without the constant concern of dew formation compromising their results. Integrating a heating element prevents dew and facilitates rapid evaporation if dew forms briefly. This quick response is crucial in maintaining uninterrupted observation sessions, especially during critical moments such as planetary transits or rare celestial events.

This innovative tool requires power from a simple D/C adapter (AZ-719) or a dual-channel controller (AZ-720).
