AstroZap Flexi-Heat Telescope Dew Shields Size - 16 in. SCT

Flexible dew shield
Addition of heat strap built in
Made from durable ABS plastic
Lined with black felt to increase contrast

Flexi-Heat Dew Shields - The Heat is On!

Until now, standard unheated dew shields could only prolong the onset of dew formation. Depending on your geographic location, a simple dew shield may be all that is required. (Dew shields are also great for blocking stray light from reaching your optics.) However, in moist climates, dew can still creep up on you within a short period and your viewing session is over. Why not add some heat?

Our Flexi-Heat dew shields direct the heat right to your optical tube assembly, thus eliminating any chance of dew formation. Guaranteed!

What makes it work?

The source of heat is a thick film heater manufactured for operation at 12 volts. Sixty-six percent of the surface area is heat emitting - this means more even heat distribution and no localized hot spots or burnouts often associated with resistance wire heaters. Best of all, it won't create heat wave disturbances.

Our Flexi-Heat dew shields come with a six foot phono-plug cable. You will need an Astrozap dew controller for a power source. Other brand controllers are fully compatible.

The Astrozap Flexi-Heat dew shields are made from durable yet light weight ABS plastic and lined with black felt to help increase contrast. A 2-inch sewn neoprene rubber “Mega Grip” material wraps snugly around the telescope optical tube assembly, keeping the dew shield in place, and eliminating any chance of dew formation!

Baader Planetarium Sky Surfer V W/ Quick Release Dovetail SSV Reviews

Baader Planetarium Sky Surfer V W/ Quick Release Dovetail SSV

The Sky Surfer V is Baader Planetarium's premium red dot finder. Made of black anodized aluminum the Sky Surfer V is an elegant match for any telescope. Its large clear aperture makes finding objects easy (outside diameter of the SSV is 45mm). As with its smaller brother the Sky Surfer V avoids the dew problems of other finders thanks to its integral (and removable) dewshields. The new optimized visual coatings result in virtually transparent views of the sky (unlike many other red-dot finders).

Mounting and adjustment of the Sky Surfer V is simple. Elevation and Azimuth adjustment is accomplished by turning the two enclosed adjustment knobs. The red locator dot intensity is adjusted by an 11 position adjusting knob. Attachment to your telescope is also straightforward with all necessary parts included. Simply attach a base to your telescope slip on the finder and tighten the two dovetail clamp screws.

Three bases are included.

The short base works best for large tubes. It includes two mounting slots (for screw mounting) and may also be attached with double-sided foam tape (supplied).

The taller base fits smaller diameter tubes (as well as large tubes using the included spacer plate) and the slotted holes accommodate the factory hole pattern of popular SCTs.

The third base fits the Vixen finder dovetail standard used on many import refractors. Each Sky Surfer includes a replaceable 3V lithium battery for extra long life.

Each Sky Surfer V now includes Baader's new machined aluminum quick release dovetail system consisting of an aluminum dovetail riser (mounts to the finder) and dovetail block that mounts to your scope.

Celestron Foamex 94014 Compatible Flexible Dew Shield for Celestron 11" Telescopes Reviews

Celestron Foamex 94014 Compatible Flexible Dew Shield for Celestron 11" Telescopes

100% compatible with Celestron Foamex 94014 Dew Shields.
Flexible dew shields are made of non-reflective, flexible, light weight foam rubber sheeting.
dew shields will not crack or dent like rigid (metal or hard plastic) dew shields.
Flexible dew shields can be stored easily rolled up, lay flat or stay on the telescope.
Flexible dew shields work better than rigid dew shield because foam rubber insulates better.

Dew Shields (dew caps) trap stagnated air in the front of the telescope. The temperature of the stagnated air is slightly higher and is enough to prevent dew from forming. Dew shields can be use as a shade to block stray light from entering the telescope or during daylight torrential viewing. Stay light lowers image contrast.

ATOZstars Flexible dew shields are made of black close-cell light weight foam rubber sheeting, which is non-reflective and a good insulation material. The foam rubber sheeting forms the cylindrical shape with Velcro. The dew shield rubber sheeting is slightly elastic which allows a snug fit on the telescope tube. The dew shield can slide forward as dew shield or slide back onto the telescope tube on most telescopes to protect the telescope from accidental scratching of the telescope tube. The flexible dew shield can be store away easily by roll up tight, lay flat or stays on the telescope. Rigid dew shields are difficult to store especially large ones.
