Kendrick heated Dew Shield, flexible - D=230 mm

Kendrick 2033-ZC - flexible ZapCap Dew Cap for Tubes D=230 mm

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

This cap fits for example to 8" SCT from Celestron and Meade, EHD, ACF.

The cap 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 cap where there is no felt. This provides a friction fit so that the dew cap stays in place once attached.

Advantages of the Kendrick dew caps compared to others:

The dew caps 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 cap provides sufficient space for a heating band.

The FireFly heater is integrated: Included is a heater, combined with an infrared reflector. For the operation of the heating, we recommend a control unit to regulate the heating power.

What advantages does a flexible dew cap offer?

Flexible dew caps 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.
