AstroZap Aluminum Dew Shield for Celestron 11″ SCT Textured Black Finish
The Celestron 11″ SCT strikes a perfect balance between portability and powerbut like all Schmidt-Cassegrains, it has one Achilles heel: dew. The AstroZap Aluminum Dew Shield offers observatory-grade protection for your optics with the added durability and polish of a textured black powder-coated finish that looks as good as it performs.
Made from lightweight yet rigid aluminum, this shield wont warp, sag, or lose shape over time like plastic alternatives. The interior is lined with light-absorbing black felt, which helps prevent dew formation by reducing radiative heat loss and cuts down on stray light from street lamps, moonlight, and other ambient sources.
Designed specifically for the Celestron 11″ SCT optical tube, this shield provides a secure fit and includes a Velcro-backed fastening system for tool-free installation. Its a rock-solid upgrade whether your setup is mobile or permanently mounted in a roll-off or dome observatory.
