Celestron Aluminum Dew Shield with Cap for 9.25" SCT

A must-have telescope accessory for preventing dew from accumulating on the corrector lens of your Celestron 9.25" SCT, the Celestron Aluminum Dew Shield minimizes radiative cooling of the night sky to keep the lens below the dew point for longer durations. Use of this dew shield provides another advantage in the form of increased contrast via the obstruction of stray light. Not allowing this extra light to enter your optical system greatly enhances both viewing and imaging. Designed with the dimensions of Celestron 9.25” Schmidt-Cassegrains in mind, you can depend on this dew shield for protection from the elements in the field. Comes complete with a cover cap that’s also made out of aluminum.

Construction

This custom-made dew shield for Celestron 9.25" Schmidt-Cassegrain and EdgeHD telescopes features solid aluminum construction to keep it from folding, bending, or contorting. For optimal viewing and imaging contrast, the interior velvet-lined surface is capable of soaking up any light or moisture surplus. Fits securely to your optical tube through the use of two included adjustable clips.

Celestron has also constructed the cover cap from durable yet lightweight aluminum. When your telescope is not in use, place this cover cap on your dew shield to protect your Schmidt corrector from stray dust particles. In addition, this cap offers the ability to quickly and easily acquire dark frames for imaging.

Any astrophotographer who likes to set their Schmidt-Cassegrain telescope up using Fastar or Hyperstar technology is more than likely familiar with complicated cable assemblies operating from the front of the dew shield. A built-in cable management system greatly simplifies this aspect of imaging by confining all necessary cables, such as those for dew heater rings, to one centralized location at the Celestron Aluminum Dew Shield’s base. In this configuration, light pollution is kept from seeping through. Lastly, cutouts on both the top and bottom are provided to make this dew shield suitable for C6 optical tubes, even with a dovetail attached.

Celestron 9.25" Aluminum Dew Shield with Cap Highlights
