The Celestron 14" Aluminum Dew Shield is specifically designed to fit 14" Celestron telescope tubes, including the EdgeHD, 36cm RASA, and Schmidt Cassegrain models made after 2006. It may not be compatible with other brands or models.
Yes, the Aluminum Dew Shield comes with two adjustable clips that allow for secure attachment to your Celestron telescope tube.
The dew shield reduces radiative cooling of the Schmidt corrector lens, keeping the lens temperature above the dew point for a longer duration, which prevents the formation of dew on the lens surface.
The velvet lining inside the dew shield serves to absorb stray light and excess moisture, which helps to maintain optimal contrast for both viewing and astroimaging.
The integrated cable management slot is designed to neatly organize essential cables, such as those for Dew Heater rings, and it should accommodate most standard cables used in astroimaging setups.

I purchased the Celestron 11" Aluminum Dew Shield with Cover Cap as an indispensable adjunct to the Celestron RASA-11 telescope. Since the camera can only be installed in front of the corrector plate, I needed a sturdy and rigid dew shield with a cap in order to take dark frames, which are essential in calibrating astronomical images. Also the dew shield enables me to capture flat frames using a light panel which I mount atop the dew shield when the scope is flipped vertical; otherwise I would have to shoot twilight or t-shirt flats, a much less convenient and efficient method. This dew shield works quite well, with no light leaks. It replaces a flexible model which proved to be completely inadequate. The only drawback to the aluminum dew shield is that it is not solidly anchored to the scope, is a trifle unstable and shifts a little when the scope is slewed. But it stays in place and doesn't fall off. For me, it is an essential and welcome adjunct to the scope.

Under the starlit sky, the Celestron 14" Aluminum Dew Shield with Cover Cap serves as an indispensable accessory for your telescope, safeguarding your instrument while enhancing your celestial viewing experience. This dew shield is specifically designed to minimize radiative cooling of the Schmidt corrector lens, thereby maintaining the lens temperature above the dew point for an extended period and effectively preventing dew formation.
The Aluminum Dew Shield not only protects your telescope but also boosts image contrast. It achieves this by obstructing stray light from entering the telescope, thereby ensuring superior viewing and astroimaging quality. This makes it an ideal companion for your 14" EdgeHD, 36cm RASA, or Schmidt Cassegrain (manufactured post-2006) telescope tube.
Constructed for precision, the Aluminum Dew Shield offers a flawless, custom fit for 14" Celestron telescope tubes. The exterior boasts a robust, aluminum cylinder that resists folding, flexing, or deformation. Inside, the velvet-lined interior absorbs any residual stray light and excess moisture, thereby creating optimal contrast for viewing and imaging.
The dew shield attaches securely to your telescope tube with two adjustable clips, ensuring a snug fit. The cover cap, crafted from lightweight yet durable aluminum, protects your Schmidt corrector from stray dust particles when the telescope is not in use. It also facilitates the quick and easy acquisition of dark frames for imaging.
Astroimagers using their Schmidt-Cassegrain or EdgeHD in the Fastar/Hyperstar configuration or the 36cm RASA will appreciate the Aluminum Dew Shield's integrated cable management slot at the base. This feature simplifies your setup by neatly organizing essential cables, such as those for our Dew Heater rings, without allowing light pollution to seep in.
The dew shield also includes cutouts to accommodate dovetail rails on the top and bottom of the telescope tube, ensuring a perfect fit regardless of the configuration. With the Celestron 14" Aluminum Dew Shield with Cover Cap, you can confidently explore the cosmos, knowing your telescope is well-protected and optimized for the best viewing experience.
