Discover the Celestron 11" Aluminum Dew Shield with Cover Cap, a meticulously engineered accessory designed to enhance your stargazing and astroimaging experience. This durable and stylish dew shield serves as a guardian for your telescope tube, providing effective protection against the formation of dew on your Schmidt corrector lens. By reducing radiative cooling to the night sky, it ensures the lens remains below the dew point for extended periods, thus maintaining pristine image quality.
Crafted from high-quality, rigid aluminum, the dew shield boasts a robust exterior that resists folding, flexing, or deforming, ensuring long-lasting performance. The interior is lined with soft velvet, adept at absorbing stray light and excess moisture, which significantly boosts contrast for both viewing and imaging. The result is a clearer, more detailed observation of the cosmos.
The Celestron Aluminum Dew Shield is specifically tailored for a perfect, custom fit on 11" EdgeHD, RASA, or Schmidt-Cassegrain telescope tubes manufactured after 2006. Its two adjustable clips provide a secure attachment, guaranteeing a snug fit that prevents slippage and misalignment.
In addition to its protective qualities, the dew shield also features an integrated cable management slot at its base, designed to simplify your setup. This thoughtful addition allows for easy organization of essential cables, such as those for dew heater rings, while preventing light pollution from compromising your view. Cutouts are also included to accommodate dovetail rails on both the top and bottom of the telescope tube, ensuring compatibility with various configurations.
When not in use, the lightweight aluminum cover cap can be placed over the dew shield to shield your Schmidt corrector from dust and other particulates. This cap also facilitates the quick acquisition of dark frames for imaging, adding convenience to your astroimaging endeavors.
Whether you're a seasoned astroimager or an enthusiastic stargazer, the Celestron 11" Aluminum Dew Shield with Cover Cap is a must-have accessory that promises to elevate your astronomical observations. Its combination of protection, enhanced contrast, and ease of use makes it a superior choice for anyone looking to optimize their celestial viewing experience.
