AstroZap Flexi-Heat Dew Shields at First Light Optics

[FLO]

Have just added the Astrozap Flexi-Heat Dew Shields (combined Flexible Dew-Shield and Dew-Heater tape) to the First Light Optics website

The spiel:

Standard unheated dew shields prolong the onset of dew formation. Depending on your geographic location, a regular dew shield may be all that is required. (Dew shields are also great for blocking stray light from reaching your optics.) However, in moist climates, dew can still creep up on you within a short period and your viewing session is over.

Astrozap Flexi-Heat Dew Shields direct heat right to your optical tube assembly, thus eliminating any chance of dew formation.

How does it work?

The source of heat is a thick film heater manufactured for operation at 12 volts. Sixty-six percent of the surface area is heat emitting - this means more even heat distribution and no localized hot spots or burnouts often associated with resistance wire heaters. Best of all, it won't create heat wave disturbances.

Astrozap Flexi-Heat Dew Shields are made from durable yet light weight ABS plastic and lined with black felt to help increase contrast. A 2-inch sewn neoprene rubber “Mega Grip” material wraps snugly around the telescope optical tube assembly, keeping the dew shield in place, and eliminating any chance of dew formation!

Supplied with a six foot phono-plug cable. Compatible with Astrozap, Kendrick, Dew-Buster and other quality controllers.
