A trifle pricey but adequate, and essential for my purposes.

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.

Become an astrophotography enthusiast with the Celestron 9.25" Aluminum Dew Shield with Cover Cap, a vital accessory designed to safeguard your telescope tube during field use. This high-quality dew shield significantly reduces radiative cooling of the Schmidt corrector lens, keeping it below the dew point for extended periods and effectively preventing dew formation on the lens.

The Aluminum Dew Shield enhances image contrast by blocking stray light from entering the telescope, optimizing your viewing and astroimaging experiences. Specifically designed for 9.25" Schmidt Cassegrain and EdgeHD telescope tubes, this dew shield provides a perfect, custom fit, ensuring your equipment's protection.

Constructed with a rigid, durable aluminum exterior, the dew shield maintains its shape without folding, flexing, or deforming. The interior is lined with velvet, absorbing any additional stray light and excess moisture, 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, also made from lightweight yet sturdy aluminum, protects your Schmidt corrector from stray dust particles when your telescope is not in use. The cover cap also facilitates the quick and easy acquisition of dark frames for imaging.

For those who enjoy using their Schmidt-Cassegrain or EdgeHD in the Fastar/Hyperstar configuration, the Aluminum Dew Shield features an integrated cable management slot at the base. This slot conveniently corrals essential cables, such as those for our Dew Heater rings, without allowing light pollution to leak in.

The dew shield also includes cutouts to accommodate dovetail rails on the top and bottom of the telescope tube, ensuring a good fit regardless of the configuration. Choose the Celestron 9.25" Aluminum Dew Shield with Cover Cap for a stylish, effective, and protective solution for your astrophotography needs.
