Omegon Dew Shield 120 cm for 12-inch Telescopes

Omegon Dew Heater Strip 120 cm for 12-inch Telescopes: dew-free 12-inch optics

A dew strap works differently than a dew shield. Instead of shielding the optics, it holds the glass edge a few degrees above the dew point. This prevents water vapor from condensing on it, even at high humidity.

With 120 cm, this dew heater strap fits around the tube of a 12-inch telescope. At these dimensions, a multi-channel controller is practical so that you can control this strap together with an eyepiece or secondary mirror strap.

Apply

Wrap the band around the tube, directly behind the lens or corrector plate. The flexible design follows the curvature, and the hook-and-loop closure keeps it securely in place, even when you move the telescope.

Regulate power

With a controller, you can continuously adjust the heating power. This saves electricity and prevents unnecessary warming of the optics, which can cause air turbulence in the tube at high magnifications.

Featured accessories

All LED strips in this series operate at 12V and have an RCA connector. For stepless dimming, use a controller; without a controller, the strip always runs at full power.
