About this product

Model: lynxastro_heated_shield_7
Part Number: lynxastro_heated_shield_7

Lynx Astro premium quality flexible heated dew shields, made in the UK.

Robust design using modern materials for high performance and long life!

Simply wrap the dew shield around the end of your telescope tube near the optics and secure it with the integrated Velcro. A gentle heat is then transferred to the optics until the temperature is slightly warmer than the dew point.

Dimensions are 75cm long and 24cm wide. Please check the circumference of your telescope to ensure it will provide a good fit (a few cm are necessary for the velcro areas to overlap).

An inner black felt liner prevents stray light entering the telescope so enhances contrast.

Will I need a Dew Controller?

A simple 12V Dew Heater Supply Cable can be used to connect to a suitable 12V power-supply. When connected this way the heating element is essentially running on full-power. This won't harm the heater but with smaller telescope apertures it might result in the optic being warmer than necessary which can effect the view and waste energy. The solution then is to use a Dew Controller that regulates the heat (also enables you to use more than one heater tape). Lynx Astro heated dew shields and heater tapes are compatible with most good dew controllers, including those manufactured by Lynx Astro & HitecAstro.
