Meade #678 Dew Shield Compatible Flexible Dew Shield for Meade ETX-125EC Series Telescopes

Meade #678 Dew Shield Compatible Flexible Dew Shield for Meade ETX-125EC Series Telescopes


Meade #678 Dew Shield Compatible Flexible Dew Shield for Meade ETX-125EC Series Telescopes
  • Meade #678 Dew Shield Compatible Flexible Dew Shield for Meade ETX-125EC Telescopes
  • Flexible dew shields are made of non-reflective, flexible, light weight foam rubber sheeting.
  • Flexible dew shields will not crack or dent like rigid (metal or hard plastic) dew shields.
  • Flexible dew shields can be stored easily rolled up, lay flat or stay on the telescope.
  • Flexible dew shields work better than rigid dew shield because foam rubber insulates better.

Dew Shields (dew caps) trap stagnated air in the front of the telescope. The temperature of the stagnated air is slightly higher and is enough to prevent dew from forming. Dew shields can be use as a shade to block stray light from entering the telescope or during daylight torrential viewing. Stay light lowers image contrast.

ATOZstars Flexible dew shields are made of black close-cell light weight foam rubber sheeting, which is non-reflective and a good insulation material. The foam rubber sheeting forms the cylindrical shape with Velcro. The dew shield rubber sheeting is slightly elastic which allows a snug fit on the telescope tube. The dew shield can slide forward as dew shield or slide back onto the telescope tube on most telescopes to protect the telescope from accidental scratching of the telescope tube. The flexible dew shield can be store away easily by roll up tight, lay flat or stays on the telescope. Rigid dew shields are difficult to store especially large ones.

AstroZap Dual Channel Controller for Telescope Dew Heaters

AstroZap Dual Channel Controller for Telescope Dew Heaters


AstroZap Dual Channel Controller for Telescope Dew Heaters
  • Used to power Flexi-Heat dew shields and Heat brands
  • Each channel controls 2 outputs totaling in 4 outputs
  • 6-foot cord equipped with cigarette lighter plug
  • Easy to position in a convenient location of telescope mount

The Astrozap dual channel controller uses pulse width modulation technology. Each channel controls two outputs for a total of four outputs. Each channel is capable of a duty cycle from 5% on time at the low setting to 95% on time at the high setting.

The Astrozap dew controller is manufactured for operation on 12 volts DC and should never be operated with any other voltage. Total amperage capacity for all four outputs is 5 amps. The controller is supplied with a six-foot cord equipped with a cigarette lighter plug end. A 5-amp fuse is incorporated into the plug.

The Astrozap dew controller can be used to power our Flexi-Heat dew shields and Heat Bands. The RCA output connectors will accommodate other brand dew heaters.

The green LED indicates that the controller is getting power. The two amber lights by the outputs indicate the power level of each channel. The brighter the amber LEDs, the higher the duty cycle for that channel. When the controller is set to the lowest setting, it is effectively off. A two-inch Velcro strip is included for mounting the controller to a convenient area of your telescope mount.

Used to power Flexi-Heat dew shields and Heat brands. Each channel controls 2 outputs totaling in 4 outputs. 6-foot cord equipped with cigarette lighter plug. Easy to position in a convenient location of telescope mount.
