Celestron Dew Shield DX 9.25 - 11 Inch SCT

Product Description

A Lens Shade or Dew Cap is a tube, of approximately the same diameter as your telescope tube, designed to fit on the front end of the telescope to reduce the amount of dew that builds up on the corrector plate. It also serves as a Lens Shade by preventing stray light from falling on the corrector plate, which greatly improves contrast.

Prevents dew from forming on your Schmidt-Cassegrain or EdgeHD corrector lens
Fits 9.25 and 11 inch optical tubes
Cutout accommodates telescope dovetail rails
Felt-lined interior surface captures moisture and reduces stray light
Rolls up for easy transport

The Dew Shield is built from durable PE plastic that is flexible but strong. Extra padding has been added at the tube attachment edge to create a stronger fit on the optical tube. The felt-lined interior absorbs any additional stray light and excessive moisture, creating optimal contrast when viewing and imaging. The large dovetail cutout has been made both wider- to accommodate a 4” wide dovetail rails, as well as deeper, to create a more solid connection with the optical tube.

Attaching the Dew Shield to your optical tube is easy thanks to the Velcro attachment points. Whether your optical tube is 9.25” and 11”, simply adjust the Velcro for the correct fit.
