Don’t let your observing session get cut short by dew on your telescope’s corrector plate! This Dew-Not Heated Dew Strip is made to wrap around the diameter of a 5″ telescope. The entire dew strap is 18″ long (the heating element ends approximately 1 inch from each end) with velcro closures to keep the Dew-Not 5″ Dew Strap secured around the scope. Meant to operate at 12V, this dew heater has a 6′ long cord that terminates in an RCA jack which plugs into a standard Dew Controller, such as the one made by Dew-Not as shown below. The controller, in turn, has a cigarette lighter plug at its terminus, allowing any number of 12V power supplies to be used as the power source.
Proudly made in the USA, the Dew-Not Dew Remover is a thick film heater manufactured for operation at 12 volts. Sixty-six percent of the surface area is heat emitting – this means more even heat distribution and no localized hot spots or burnouts often associated with resistance wire heaters. Protected by over 30 USA and international patents, and carrying more than 20 years of constant improvements and enhancements, the Dew-Not Dew Remover is the ultimate in reliability and efficiency.
