Kendrick 2033-A - heated flexible Dew Shield for tube diameter 230 mm

Kendrick 2033-A - flexible Dew Shield for Tubes D=230 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 shield fits for example to 8" SCT from Celestron and Meade, EHD, ACF, but also GSO RC8.

The 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.

The dew shield provides sufficient space for a heating sleeve.

The heating is integrated: Included is a heater. For the operation of the heating, we recommend a control unit to regulate the heating power.

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.
