Kendrick 2030-A flexible Dew Shield for Tubes with Diameter = 120 mm

Kendrick 2030-A - flexible Dew Shield for Tubes D=120 mm

Kendrick dew shields are constructed of black ABS plastic and are all felt lined for maximum absorbtion of moisture and baffling of stray light.

This dew shield fits for example to Celestron NexStar 4.

The dew shield is attached by wrapping it around your telescope just below the front lens or corrector plate ring. The two outside ends are then pressed together using the sewn on velcro. A rubber strip is supplied that must be attached along the bottom of the dew shield where there is no felt. This provides a friction fit so that the dew shield stays in place once attached. It also allows enough space to attach a heater around the corrector plate ring on the inside of the dew shield.

Advantages of the Kendrick dew shields compared to others:

The dew shields are made of high-quality and particularly flexible plastic which is extremely resistant.

The Velcro fasteners are attached with double seams and do not come off.

The attachment to the tube is made with a non-slip rubber strip and therefore offers a better hold.

What advantages does a flexible dew shield offer?

Flexible dew shields do not need any space - they can simply be placed around the tube for transport.

They also provide protection against stray light, increasing contrast.

The fastening is especially easy with a Velcro tape.

You can use the dew shield with a heater:

These dew shields come with a 0.5" thick rubber strip along the bottom. This provides plenty of room to wrap a heater around your telescope and then wrap the dew shield around the heater, enclosing the heater inside the dew shield. This changes the standard dew shield to a heated dew shield and you have the choice of using heaters.
