The Celestron Dew Shield DX is an essential accessory that protects your optical tube in the field. It prevents excess moisture in the air from forming condensation on the corrector lens. A dew shield also helps block stray light from entering the telescope for better viewing and astroimaging. Use the Dew Shield DX on your 6” and 8” Schmidt Cassegrain, EdgeHD, and RASA (with single dovetail) optical tubes with confidence.

Construction

The Dew Shield DX provides a perfect, custom fit designed specifically for 6” and 8” Celestron optical tubes. The Dew Shield is built from durable PE plastic that is flexible but strong. Extra padding has been added at the tube attachment edge to create a stronger fit on the optical tube. The felt-lined interior absorbs any additional stray light and excessive moisture, creating optimal contrast when viewing and imaging. The large dovetail cutout has been made both wider- to accommodate a 4” wide dovetail rails, as well as deeper, to create a more solid connection with the optical tube.

Attaching the Dew Shield to your optical tube is easy thanks to the Velcro attachment points. Whether your optical tube is 6” or 8”, simply adjust the Velcro for the correct fit.

Transportation and Storage

To save space when not in use, roll up your Dew Shield DX for easy transport and storage.

Farpoint Dew Shield - Meade 12 Inch SCT is a virtually indestructible cover customized for Meade 12 Inch SCT telescopes. Simply attach the flexible cover to the front of the optical tube to prevent moisture build-up on the lens. Made with tough, flexible ABS plastic and lined with black felt to cut down the reflection and prevent sliding onto the telescope corrector plate.

Protects delicate optical equipment and allows for moisture-free observing sessions.

When you are out on the field, make sure that your night-long set up is not interrupted by dew on your optics.

Farpoint Dew Shields and Dew Heaters are part of a perfect series of preventative measures you can take to make sure that your setup is prepared for the journey ahead. Our Shields are made with ABS polymer and proud to be made in USA.

The Astrozap AZ-114-C Flexi-Shield® is a flexible dew shield sized for the Celestron 14" Schmidt-Cassegrain. This version has no dovetail notch and fits C14 OTAs on CGX-L mounts.

Serious aperture needs serious dew protection

The C14's huge corrector plate is a dew magnet. A passive Flexi-Shield is the single most effective, power-free way to keep it clear through a long night of observing or imaging, while also cutting stray light for improved contrast on deep-sky targets.

Features

• Custom fit for the Celestron 14" SCT and EdgeHD
• Felt-lined interior absorbs moisture and suppresses reflections
• Heavy-duty ABS polymer construction
• Padded VELCRO® Brand closure for a secure, non-marring fit
• Rolls flat for transport, despite the large diameter

Compatible Celestron 14" telescopes

• CGX-L 1400 SCT
• CGX-L 1400 EdgeHD

Proudly made in the USA.

The Astrozap AZ-145 Flexi-Shield® is a flexible dew shield made specifically for the Vixen VC200L 8" Cassegrain, with a notch for the lower dovetail bar. It's the simplest way to keep the VC200L's corrector clear and contrast high on long imaging runs.

Designed for the VC200L

The Vixen VC200L is a favourite astrograph for its flat field and sharp stars, but its front optic is exposed to the sky like any Cassegrain. The Flexi-Shield passively delays dew formation and shields the optics from stray light, so more of your captured photons are signal, not glare.

Features

• Lower dovetail notch shaped for the VC200L bar
• Felt-lined interior for moisture absorption and anti-reflection
• Quality ABS polymer construction
• Padded VELCRO® Brand closure keeps the tube finish safe
• Rolls flat for easy transport
