Celestron 6" Aluminum Dew Shield with Cover Cap

Let the 6" Aluminum Dew Shield with Cover Cap, designed specifically for Celestron Schmidt-Cassegrain telescope tubes, elevate your stargazing and astroimaging experience. This indispensable accessory not only safeguards your telescope tube in the field but also significantly reduces radiative cooling of the Schmidt corrector lens. By keeping the lens temperature below the dew point for extended periods, it effectively prevents dew formation on the lens, ensuring clear, unobstructed views of the night sky.

Constructed with a rigid aluminum exterior, this dew shield guarantees durability without compromising on flexibility. It won't fold, flex, or deform, providing a custom fit for your 6" Celestron telescope tubes. The velvet-lined interior further enhances image contrast by absorbing stray light and excess moisture, creating optimal viewing and imaging conditions.

The Aluminum Dew Shield comes with two adjustable clips for secure attachment to your telescope tube. The cover cap, also crafted from lightweight yet robust aluminum, offers additional protection for your Schmidt corrector lens against dust particles when your telescope is not in use. It also facilitates the quick and easy acquisition of dark frames for imaging.

Astroimagers using the Fastar/Hyperstar configuration will appreciate the integrated cable management slot at the base of the dew shield. This feature allows for easy organization of essential cables, such as those for our Dew Heater rings, without the risk of light pollution leakage. The dew shield also features cutouts to accommodate dovetail rails on the top and bottom of the telescope tube, ensuring a perfect fit regardless of the configuration.

As a bonus, this product comes with 2x adhesive Celestron logo labels. Display your brand loyalty on your dew shield or any other surface of your choice. With the 6" Aluminum Dew Shield with Cover Cap, enhance your astroimaging setup and enjoy the wonders of the universe in high contrast and clarity.
