The dew shield is the basic component of the passive dew fighting system. Astrozap Aluminum and FlexiShields are proudly made in the USA of the highest quality materials and workmanship. Astrozap Aluminum Dew Shields are custom made and painted to match telescopes manufactured by Meade (including the new ACF series), Celestron (including the new HD series), and the Takahashi Epsilon astrograph. Astrozap FlexiShields are made from high quality ABS-grade polymers, velcro fasteners to provide a snug fit, and padded so as not to mar or scratch the telescope's finish. They roll up easily into a convenient size for easy transportation to star parties and dark sky sites, near and far. Astrozap Aluminum and FlexiShields are a vital part of dew fighting strategies.

The Astrozap FlexiHeat Dew Shield uniquely combines both active and passive methods of dew fighting with the added feature of shielding the telescope from undesirable stray light. Each FlexiHeat Dew Shield has a built-in Astrozap Dew Heater Strap. When used with the Astrozap Dual Channel Dew Controller or the DC Adapter, the FlexiHeat Dew Shield performs both active and passive dew fighting methods to keep the telescope objective dew-free, thereby lengthening precious telescope time.

Please note these heated dew shields do need a controller to operate them properly. Please see the listed accessories below for both controllers by Astrozap.

Astrozap FlexiHeat Dew Shield

Thursday, 1 December 2016 | Graham

Having used a separate heater tape and unheated dew shield at different times on my 10" LX200, I found that neither worked very well for long. I even glued some velcro tape to the inside of my dew shield and attached the heater tape to it to try to create what Astrozap have now produced, but my efforts failed when the glue soon broke down in the heat of the tape. I decided to invest in the Astrozap heated dew shield and the results were exactly as I had hoped. So far, I have used it on two nights and each time, after several hours under a clear and very cold sky (about -3 or -4 C), no misting or dewing whatsoever occurred. This would have not been possible with my previous equipment. The Astrozap is a strong, well-made accessory which will get maximum use in future and will extend my ability to do long exposure astrophotography. A great buy.
