Takahashi TKA06220 – FS-60 Dew Shield Extension (Silver)

Elegant protection, Takahashi precision

Dew control doesn’t have to be bulky. The TKA06220 Dew Shield Extension adds both function and form to the Takahashi FS-60 series. Designed to thread directly onto the front of your standard dew shield, this lightweight aluminum extension helps reduce moisture build-up while preserving your refractor’s classic Takahashi styling—this time in silver.

It’s not just a pretty finish. The extra shielding helps mitigate radiative cooling, extending your dew-free viewing window by slowing heat loss at the front lens. If you observe under humid skies, this is the kind of subtle upgrade that quietly earns its keep night after night.

Key Features:

• Fits all FS-60 models with standard Takahashi dew shield threading

• Finished in Takahashi silver for a matching aesthetic with select OTAs

• Lightweight and durable aluminum build

• Adds passive dew protection without shifting balance

• Threads cleanly onto existing front cell—no tape, no clamps

Cloudy Nights Community Insight

A refractor owner noted that switching from white to silver “not only matched my rig, but actually made a difference on nights when the white shield started to get dewy early.”

Observing Tip

Even without active heating, this extension can extend dew-free operation by 30–60 minutes under typical conditions. For maximum efficiency, pair it with a dew heater ring or wrap set to low power.
