  • Cutout accommodates telescope dovetail rails
  • Felt-lined interior surface captures moisture and reduces stray light

Description

The Celestron Dew Shield DX is an essential accessory that protects your optical tube in the field. It prevents excess moisture in the air from forming condensation on the corrector lens. A dew shield also helps block stray light from entering the telescope for better viewing and astroimaging. Use the Dew Shield DX on your 6” and 8” Schmidt Cassegrain, EdgeHD, and RASA (with single dovetail) optical tubes with confidence. Construction The Dew Shield DX provides a perfect, custom fit designed specifically for 6” and 8” Celestron optical tubes. The Dew Shield is built from durable PE plastic that is flexible but strong. Extra padding has been added at the tube attachment edge to create a stronger fit on the optical tube. The felt-lined interior absorbs any additional stray light and excessive moisture, creating optimal contrast when viewing and imaging. The large dovetail cutout has been made both wider- to accommodate a 4” wide dovetail rails, as well as deeper, to create a more solid connection with the optical tube. Attaching the Dew Shield to your optical tube is easy thanks to the Velcro attachment points. Whether your optical tube is 6” or 8”, simply adjust the Velcro for the correct fit. Transportation and Storage To save space when not in use, roll up your Dew Shield DX for easy transport and storage.

Great dew shield.....works as advertised!
Style: Deluxe Flexible Dew Shield, 6" - 8"
Hello Fellow Astronomers, I read that this dew shield doesn't fit the 8se telescope and quite frankly, when I got mine, I also thought it didn't fit properly. I though it should have been wider so that the whole hook-and-loop section should be used and I only overlapped the hook-and-loop by about one half. Today, I decided to overlap the whole hook-and-loop section and tried attching it to my 8se. Well, what do you know, it fits snugly and the unit is now properly fastened by the whole hook-and-loop section. ... show more

A Must for your Scopes
Style: Deluxe Flexible Dew Shield, 6" - 8"
I purchased this to keep the front of the telescope from becoming too exposed to the elements. It fits my Edge 80mm well and with the velcro, it is easy to apply to the scope. It is heavy duty and bends without cracking.

Fit, Alignment, Easy Of Use
Style: Deluxe Flexible Dew Shield, 6" - 8"
This was the les expensive model of the dew shields offered by Celestron for my telescope. I combined it with a dew shield Celestron Heater ring. As expected from Celestron it worked great with a great fit and a great dew heater the combination was great. I think that I am going to order the solid aluminum dew shield. Not because there is anything wrong with the flex system but because I use my scope often in the winter. I just feel that the hard scope cover would perform better in my application.As for the ease of use, it is a simple matter of attaching the two ends of the Velcro together. The alignment takes takes care of itself. I would recommend both dew shields. But if you use it like I do, then I would go with the solid shield with the cover. ... show more

Barely fits 8se
Style: Deluxe Flexible Dew Shield, 6" - 8"
As someone else mentioned, this BARELY fits the Celestron Nexstar 8se. It's fine, but a little more overlap would be nice. Otherwise it's good.

Not really worth it.
Style: Deluxe Flexible Dew Shield, 6" - 8"
This is relatively heavy, requiring one to rebalance the scope. I haven't really used it much, it turns out. If you really need light shielding, a large sheet of black construction paper and some packing or Duck tape should work just fine.

This dew shield works perfect
Style: Deluxe Flexible Dew Shield, 6" - 8"
On a cold night where my telescope was warm, I was able to put it outside, and view through it and get no condensation on the main telescope glass. That's all you need a dew shield to do, and this does it. Its nice to have something that fits the Celestron 8se perfectly, and is made specifically for it. ... show more

Perfect for the EdgeHD 8
Style: Deluxe Flexible Dew Shield, 6" - 8"
This is a great dew shield for the EdgeHD 8 or any other 8" SCT. It withstands a breeze and low angles without drooping. I use a HyperStar with my camera and it doesn't interfere with either. I wrap it around the SCT and long dovetail inside the padded case for travel and it doesn't have any odd bends when I take it out. I'm very happy with this dew shield. ... show more
