Questions & Answers

Philip H : Will it fit the original orange tube C8 from the 70's and 80's?
Shopper : Will this fit the original orange tube C8 from 70’s and 80’s?DERRY C : I don't know anything about the older C8 but I'm pretty sure this will work. The shield is a flat piece of material with a couple strips of velcro along the edge. You roll it into a tube and fasten the edge with the velcro. The velcro is 2" wide so you'll have a little room to adjust the size. I use mine on an 8" RASA. It's not a very snug fit and sometimes sags down. I've been mounting it on the RASA and then snugging it up by slipping the camera power and USB cables between the tube and the shield. It has some weight to it so be sure to balance your scope with the shield installed. It works very well at keeping the dew/frost off the OTA.
Jim P : If i get this dew shield should I also get a dew heater for the C8?  Seems like this will do the trick.

Well made and fits as advertised.

This dew shield is well make and fits my 8-inch SCT as advertised. Although I've only used it twice under conditions above the dew point, it also seems to cut down on some of the stray light for what I think is a better image.

Great Addition to my Nexstar 8SE

It took me a minute to figure out how to utilize this piece, but once I figured it out, it has been helpful to keep the telescope neutral in extremely humid times of viewing. Otherwise, my tel;escopoe would be too moist for me to handle.

Quick and easy

Quick, effective and economical way to keep dew off of your corrector plate. Purchased to use with 8 inch RASA. Easy to attach and has no discernible impact on images. Glad I tried this before pulling the trigger on a very expensive alternative.

Well made, fits well

I have a Celestron SE8 and this dew shield is a perfect fit for my telescope. It is well made, looks nice, and has the cutout area for where the scope tube slides onto. Highly recommend.

It works.

It works! The night before I received my order, my evening viewing with a 6” Celestron Evolution was cut short by condensation. The next night, under virtually identical conditions, condensation posed no problem. I was fascinated to see that condensation began to collect again the moment I took the dew shield off to pack up for the night. I took that as good evidence of the shield’s effectiveness.

Haven't used it yet

I only tried to put it on the scope. I haven't tried it outside yet. I would recommend that the user rolls it up over night because it comes flat and it's stiff. The next day it wrapped itself around the tube nicely.
