Astrozap For Current Meade 14" LX200 Catadioptrics, Textured Matte Blue Finish

AstroZap Flexible Dew Shield – For Current Meade 14" LX200 SCT (Textured Matte Blue Finish)

Moisture Protection and Contrast Boosting for Your Big Meade

The AstroZap Flexible Dew Shield for the current-generation Meade 14" LX200 Schmidt-Cassegrain telescope (with the textured matte blue finish) offers an effective way to fight off dew and stray light before they interfere with your session. Whether you’re at a star party or in a backyard observatory, this field-proven shield helps preserve the performance of your optics.

Made from rugged yet lightweight black ABS plastic, the shield wraps securely around the front cell of the optical tube. The interior is lined with felt, which helps reduce glare and light scatter while also insulating the corrector plate to slow down dew formation. The Velcro-style closure ensures a tight, slip-free fit that’s easy to manage even in the dark.

When you’re observing with 14" of aperture, every photon counts—and this shield helps make sure they reach your eyepiece or camera unspoiled.

Observing Tip:

A dew shield is your first—and often most effective—line of defense against dew. It’s also a powerful passive light baffle. If you observe near ambient light sources like porch lights, neighbor windows, or parking lots, this felt-lined shield can significantly boost contrast on extended deep-sky objects.
