Celestron Aluminum Dew Shield with Cover Cap (8”) – Essential Protection for Your Telescope
Prevent Dew & Enhance Contrast for Clearer Observations
The Celestron Aluminum Dew Shield with Cover Cap is a must-have accessory for 8” Schmidt-Cassegrain, EdgeHD, and RASA telescopes, providing superior dew prevention, improved image contrast, and protection against dust. Designed to reduce radiative cooling of the Schmidt corrector lens, this rigid aluminum dew shield keeps your optics clear for longer observing sessions and astrophotography.
With a durable aluminum construction, a velvet-lined interior for light absorption, and an integrated cable management system, this dew shield is the ultimate solution for maintaining peak optical performance in all conditions. The included aluminum cover cap ensures dust-free storage and enables easy dark frame acquisition for imaging.
