Decent dew heaters?

[Astro Waves]

Hi all,

Think I might need to get a bit more of a decent/reliable dew heater and was wandering if anyone has any recommendations? Had a look on the FLO site but they seem to be all out at the moment. Not exactly in a major rush but something I do need to sort out.

Cheers

I’ve always had really great service from  W&W Astro, here

I've had good results from the RVO 12 volt dew straps - RVO Heater Bands With Integrated Controller - Rother Valley Optics Ltd  These have an integrated controller (glorified dimmer switch) so there's no need for a separate controller. I have them on both my C8 and zenithstar 73 plus the two guidescopes.  I run two 12 volt power supplies to my pier, one for the mount itself and the other for accessories so I don't have an issue powering them.  They also do 5volt USB versions.

Never had to use one up here in the North East, maybe i've not been out long enough to need one.

I use Svbony 5v USB heaters. The longest is 40cm but you can put 2 together. Good value and work well. All my 12v dew heaters are DIY.

COOWOO USB heaters for me with my camera lenses and small scopes..

I use the COOWOO USB heaters and have never had any issue with them. I have a dewcontrol db04 on my RC scope but I did notice if I did not supply that with separate power then I could hear the PWM whine through the camera which I was not happy with so just put a separate supply on it and everything was fine.

+1 for W & W Astro, they are the best made heaters I have and service is second to none.

I've also found them to be very good, though (unsurprisingly, I think) on occasions over the last couple of years they have been short of stock.

W&W heaters are cheaper to buy on their eBay store due to free postage. I have 4 and they are all great.
