Astrozap Celestron 14" SCT, Flexible Black Plastic

AstroZap Flexible Dew Shield for Celestron 14" SCT – Black Plastic

The Celestron 14" Schmidt-Cassegrain is a deep-sky powerhouse, but all that light-gathering glass makes it especially vulnerable to dew. The AstroZap Flexible Dew Shield is your first line of defense—keeping your corrector plate dry, protected, and glare-free without adding unnecessary bulk.

This shield is crafted from durable yet lightweight black plastic and wraps around the front of your optical tube with a secure Velcro fastening strip. Inside, a felt-lined interior helps absorb ambient light and slows radiative cooling, both of which reduce the likelihood of dew forming on the corrector plate.

Tailored specifically to fit the large front cell of the Celestron 14" SCT, this shield offers a snug, secure fit with no tools required. It's an ideal upgrade for visual observers and imagers alike—especially if you're operating under humid skies or light-polluted conditions.

Features:

• Custom fit for Celestron 14" Schmidt-Cassegrain Telescopes

• Constructed from flexible black plastic for lightweight durability

• Felt-lined interior enhances contrast and helps prevent dew buildup

• Velcro closure for easy, tool-free installation and removal

• Rolls up for compact storage and easy transport

• Blocks stray light for improved image contrast

Observing Tip:

A dew shield is more than just moisture protection—it’s also a powerful contrast booster. By shielding your corrector plate from stray light sources like porch lights or the Moon, it helps you pull more detail out of faint nebulae and galaxies. And for a 14" SCT, contrast is everything.
