Astrozap has included with this Flex-Heat® an Astrozap RCA Phono to 2.1mm Power Conversion Cable (AZ-725) that will enable you to use this Flex-Heat® with other brand controllers and power sources. THEREFORE, THIS FLEXI-HEAT® DEW SHIELD IS COMPATIBLE WITH VIRTUALLY ALL BRANDS OF TELESCOPE HEATER POWER SOURCES.
- The Astrozap Flexible Heated Dew Shield uniquely combines both active and passive methods of dew fighting with the added feature of shielding the telescope from undesirable stray light.
- Felt-lined to help absorb moisture and to prevent extraneous light from reaching the optics and improve contrast.
- Astrozap heated dew shields are made from the highest quality ABS-grade polymers.
- VELCRO® Brand fasteners provide a snug fit and padded so as not to damage or scratch the telescope's finish.
- Flex-Heat® dew shields roll up easily into a convenient size for easy transportation to star parties and dark sky sites.
- The current Astrozap dew heater components have been upgraded to provide features and benefits that make Astrozap superior to many other brands including:
- Heat barrier design directs heat toward the main optical tube resulting in minimal waste of heat rising into the air.
- Optimally coated, heavy duty, durable yet flexible sheaths on the heating elements function well in both extreme cold and heat throughout observing and imaging sessions.
- Efficient energy consumption helps your battery last longer throughout your observing and imaging sessions.
- Stronger heater wires and wire connections protect from inadvertent wire separation.
- State-of-the-art energy efficient heating elements last longer and apply heat uniformly over the length of the strap, compared with inferior crimped carbon film resistors.
