Celestron Dew Heater Ring, 14"

The Celestron Dew Heater Ring offers the perfect solution for dew prevention on your Celestron telescope, enhancing your observing or imaging experiences throughout the year. Designed to permanently attach to your 14" Celestron Schmidt-Cassegrain (manufactured post-2006), EdgeHD, and the 36cm RASA optical tube, it replaces your existing retaining ring ensuring you're never left without it. The installation process is straightforward and simple, with the manual providing clear instructions.

How it works

The Dew Heater Ring replaces the retaining ring on your Schmidt corrector lens for efficient heating across the lens. The ring is constructed of lightweight, durable aluminium. Its rigid frame supports the cable circuitry and the telescope's Schmidt corrector lens.

Enhance your setup

To achieve the highest level of dew prevention while maximising power efficiency, we strongly recommend pairing the Dew Heater Ring with a Smart DewHeater Controller (sold separately). The controller uses the ring's built-in thermistor and its internal environmental sensor to provide just the right amount of heat to the corrector to prevent dew based upon the ambient temperature, ambient humidity, and temperature of the Schmidt corrector, which can dramatically reduce the ring's power draw, greatly increasing battery life.

Top Three Features: Celestron Dew Heater Ring - 14"

• Efficient heating across the lens: The Dew Heater Ring replaces the retaining ring on your Schmidt corrector lens to provide efficient heating across the lens. This ensures that your telescope's lens remains dew-free, enhancing your observing or imaging experiences.
• Lightweight, durable aluminium construction: The Dew Heater Ring is constructed of lightweight, durable aluminium. This ensures that it is both easy to handle and built to last, providing you with a reliable solution for dew prevention.
• Direct heat transfer to prevent dew formation: Unlike other heating bands or strips, the Celestron Dew Heater Ring heats the corrector glass directly. This provides the most efficient transfer of heat, preventing dew from forming even under heavy dew conditions.
