Description
Technical Details: Celestron Aluminium Dew Shield - 9.25" The Celestron Aluminium Dew Shield, complete with Cover Cap, is a vital add-on safeguarding your telescope tube whilst in use. Its primary function is to lessen the radiative cooling of the Schmidt corrector lens to the night sky, thereby maintaining the lens beneath the dew point for extended periods and averting dew accumulation on the lens. Moreover, the Aluminium Dew Shield enhances image contrast by preventing stray light from infiltrating the telescope, thus improving both viewing and astroimaging. Rest assured when utilising the Aluminium Dew Shield on your 9.25" Schmidt Cassegrain and EdgeHD telescope tube, as it has been meticulously designed for your specific instrument. Key Features: Lessens radiative cooling of the Schmidt corrector lens Maintains the lens beneath the dew point Prevents stray light from infiltrating the telescope Enhances image contrast Designed for 9.25" Schmidt Cassegrain and EdgeHD telescope tubes Construction The Aluminium Dew Shield provides a perfect, custom fit for 23.5 cm Celestron telescope tubes. The exterior of the dew shield is a rigid, aluminium cylinder that will not fold, flex, or deform. Inside, a velvet-lined interior absorbs any additional stray light and excess moisture, creating optimal contrast when viewing and imaging. Attach the dew shield to your telescope tube with the two adjustable clips to ensure a snug fit. We've also constructed the cover cap from durable yet lightweight aluminium. When your telescope is not in use, place the cover cap on your dew shield to protect your Schmidt corrector from stray dust particles. The cover cap also offers you the ability to quickly and easily acquire dark frames for imaging. If you're an astroimager who enjoys using your Schmidt-Cassegrain or EdgeHD in the Fastar/Hyperstar configuration, you're probably used to running cables out the front of the dew shield. Simplify and streamline your setup with the Aluminium Dew Shield's integrated cable management slot at the base. This slot gives you an easy way to corral essential cables (like the ones for our Dew Heater rings) without potentially allowing light pollution to leak in. Also, there are cutouts to accommodate dovetail rails on the top and bottom of the telescope tube, ensuring a good fit regardless of the configuration. Enhance your setup When purchasing this item, you will receive 2x adhesive Celestron logo labels. Use them on your dew shield or anywhere else you like! Check out the 23.5 cm Dew Heater ring and the Smart DewHeater and Power Controllers to optimise your setup for the ideal dew-free night of observing and imaging. Top Three Features: Celestron Aluminium Dew Shield - 9.25" Lessens radiative cooling of the Schmidt corrector lens: This feature ensures that your telescope's lens remains at an optimal temperature, reducing the risk of dew accumulation. This is particularly beneficial for long viewing sessions, as it allows for uninterrupted observation. Prevents stray light from infiltrating the telescope: By preventing stray light from entering the telescope, the Celestron Aluminium Dew Shield enhances image contrast. This results in clearer and more detailed viewing and astroimaging, making your stargazing experience even more enjoyable. Designed for 9.25" Schmidt Cassegrain and EdgeHD telescope tubes: The meticulous design of the Celestron Aluminium Dew Shield ensures a perfect fit for your 9.25" Schmidt Cassegrain and EdgeHD telescope tubes. This means you can rest assured that your telescope is well-protected and ready for your next stargazing session.
