Celestron Aluminum Dew Shield and Cap, 8"

  The Celestron Aluminum Dew Shield with Cover Cap stands as an indispensable accessory essential for safeguarding your telescope tube during outdoor field observations. This dew shield plays a vital role in minimizing radiative cooling effects on the Schmidt corrector lens by preventing the lens from cooling to the night sky's temperature, thereby keeping it below the dew point for an extended period. This, in turn, effectively prevents the formation of dew on the lens. Additionally, the Aluminum Dew Shield significantly enhances image contrast by acting as a barrier to block stray light from entering the telescope, resulting in an improved viewing and astroimaging experience. You can confidently employ the Aluminum Dew Shield on your 8” EdgeHD, RASA, or Schmidt Cassegrain telescope tube (manufactured after 2006), knowing it has been meticulously designed to perfectly match your specific instrument.
