This must-have accessory will improve your observing or imaging nights year-round. The Dew Heater Ring permanently mounts to your 5\" Celestron Schmidt-Cassegrain optical tube, replacing your retaining ring, so you'll never be caught without it.

The ring is constructed of lightweight, durable aluminum. Its rigid frame supports the cable circuity and the telescope's Schmidt corrector lens. Unlike other heating bands or strips that inefficiently heat the lens cell to warm the glass, the Celestron Dew Heater Ring heats the corrector glass directly, providing the most efficient transfer of heat to prevent dew formation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eSimply plug the ring into an external 12V DC power source for consistent, continuous heat that will prevent dew from forming even under heavy dew conditions.

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. The ring also includes an extension cable for connecting the ring directly to one of the controllers’ heater output ports, or to a third-party controller’s heater output port.

The perfect filter for viewing nebula from light polluted skies, or for boosting the contrast of nebula from dark sky sites.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn addition to it's optimum spectral and optical characteristics, the UHC\/LPR filter offers important features that set it apart and result in the highest quality celestial views:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe multi-layer dielectric coatings are plasma assisted and Ionbeam hardened using the latest technology for durability and resistance to scratching.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eImproved transmission translates to maximum image brightness and contrast.
