Desiccant

As long as the night skies are clear, the chances are you’ll be outside and under them. Unfortunately, if moisture forms on your telescope optics, it can obscure your views of the night sky. It can also cause mold and fungi to form over time if left uncleaned, costing you hundreds or thousands to replace damaged equipment. Desiccant caps and packs can reduce this risk by soaking up the moisture, leaving your telescope free of mold and your nights free of worry!

Farpoint Astro has produced a cap that fits right into the focuser of your telescope, making it the perfect accessory to keep moisture and mold away from your scope. It comes in two sizes, one for 2” focusers and the other for 1.25” focusers, and includes eighteen individual packs of desiccant. It even changes color when it’s time for a refill!

Here at High Point Scientific, we offer a variety of different desiccant accessories from brands like FarPoint, ZWO, Baader, and Starlight Instruments. From desiccant caps to desiccant plugs and tablets, our selection of desiccant accessories is sure to meet your dew fighting needs.
