Dew Strap Positioning

[lewisjones]

Having recently bought an Astrozap dew strap and a Hitech dew controller  I am asking about the positioning of the dew strap on my Meade LX 10 OTA.

The problem I have is that when my dewshield is attached , the front edge of the strap would be about 2" back from the corrector lens of the OTA.

Will the dew strap have the desired effect being that far back from the corrector lens?

Your views will be much appreciated

Pretty much the same as my 9.25 when the dew shield is on, it works fine.

I run a Astrozap on my SCT 11" on the 13.8v supply, no controller it just about got warm......you can put it on top of the dew shield so its close to the corrector plate...

It should be better in this position as the tube wall is thinner allowing the warmth to permeate easier.

Mine sits just behind the corrector plate ring on the thin part of the tube. Works just fine.
