Kendrick Heating for the Primary Mirror of Newtonian and Dobsonian Telescopes

Especially on our humid nights the primary mirror of a telescope can dew. This ends the observation or astrophotography session before it has really begun. Telescopes with an open design are particularly affected.

A primary mirror heater can prevent this. Fogging is prevented by minimal uniform heating of the primary mirror from the rear.

It is sufficient to operate the heater at a low level to avoid tube seeing. 15-20% of the maximum controller setting is usually enough. Only in order to "free" already dewy mirrors, you should go to the maximum level for a few minutes.

Heating the primary mirror is much more effective than ventilation, the essential advantages are:

No additional moist air will be blown into the telescope interior.

The heating is absolutely even, a deformation of the mirror and a deterioration of the picture are prevented.

With the appropriate control, the dew protection can be optimally set and possibly even controlled via the computer.

The light-tight material of the heater prevents the penetration of scattered light from the rear side.
