Astrozap For Current Meade 16" LX200 Catadioptrics, Textured Matte Blue Finish

This Astrozap metal dew shield is made of rugged 20-gauge welded-seam aluminum. The interior is lined with contrast-enhancing black felt to absorb both stray light and moisture.

The 24" long Astrozap dew shield is finished in a textured matte blue paint to match the color and textured finish of the optical tube of current 16" Meade LX200 telescopes. The durable powder-coated finish is baked on for long life and chip resistance. Previous model Meade 16" scopes have a smooth-surface gloss white finish and our part #1966WH would be a better appearance match to the glossy finish of these scopes than this textured matte blue version.

Three nylon thumbscrews in heavy-duty metal inserts lock onto the corrector plate rim to hold the dew shield onto the telescope optical tube and assure a secure fit.
