After only a very short time, the optics can start fogging, making viewing or photography impossible. These Celestron Dew Protection Heater Rings are the ideal solution for preventing this problem.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe dew-protection heater rings are available in various sizes depending on your telescope OTA size and they replace the retaining ring on your existing Celestron Telescope. Installation is quick and easy \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0596\/1924\/6275\/files\/Celestron_Dew_Heater_Ring_Manual.pdf?v=1752321092\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e(Follow instructions in the manual here)\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eHow does it work?\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe dew-protection heater ring replaces the plastic retaining ring on your telescope's Schmidt plate and provides efficient heating of the front lens. The ring is made of lightweight, durable aluminum and its rigid frame supports both the cabling and the telescope's Schmidt plate. Unlike other heating bands or strips, which inefficiently heat the entire OTA cell to warm the glass, the Celestron dew-protection heater ring transfers heat directly to the Schmidt plate, providing the most efficient heat transfer to prevent dew formation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSimply connect the ring to an external 12V DC Dew Heater power source for a consistent, continuous heat supply that prevents dew formation, even in high humidity. The dew-proof heating ring features two storage clips to safely store the power and thermistor connectors when not in use, and a dust cover for the telescope.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe dew-proof heater ring also comes with a cable management clip that can be attached to the front of the OTA. This allows you to secure the power and thermistor jack-plugs for strain relief and to neatly route the connecting cables.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe ring also includes an extension cable that allows it to be connected directly to one of the controller's heater outputs or to the heater output of another controller. (Note: The heated ring also has an integrated temperature probe (thermistor) however this is only compatible with Celestron's Smart Power and Dew Control box) We also recommend using a dew cap. While not required, it reduces the energy required by the dew heater ring to keep the optics clear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eWhats included:\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003e\n\u003cem\u003eDew protection heating ring\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003e\n\u003cem\u003eCable management clip\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003e\n\u003cem\u003eExtension cable for the power socket\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003ePaper cover to protect the Schmidt plate during assembly\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e","brand":"Celestron","offers":[{"title":"5\" Schmidt Cassegrain","offer_id":55540187562319,"sku":"825910","price":59.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"6\" Schmidt Cassegrain","offer_id":55540187595087,"sku":"825911","price":62.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"8\" Schmidt Cassegrain","offer_id":55540187627855,"sku":"825912","price":75.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"9.25\" Schmidt Cassegrain","offer_id":55540187660623,"sku":"825913","price":109.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"11\" Schmidt Cassegrain","offer_id":55540187693391,"sku":"825914","price":129.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"14\" Schmidt Cassegrain","offer_id":55540258341199,"sku":"825915","price":269.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0596\/1924\/6275\/files\/Celestron-Dew-Heater-Rings_3.webp?v=1752322210"},{"product_id":"vespera-hygrometer-sensor","title":"Vespera Hygrometer Sensor","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDesigned for Vespera I \u0026amp; Vespera II.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFog is one of the many enemies of amateur astronomers.
