Astrozap For Celestron 6" NexStar 6SE, Flexible Black Plastic, with Notch

AstroZap Flexible Dew Shield for Celestron NexStar 6SE – With Notch

The Celestron NexStar 6SE packs serious optical punch into a compact design—but its corrector plate is still vulnerable to dew and stray light. The AstroZap Flexible Dew Shield gives your 6SE the protection and performance boost it deserves, helping you stay focused on the sky instead of fogged optics.

Made from lightweight, durable black ABS plastic, this dew shield wraps securely around the front cell of your OTA using a Velcro closure. The interior is lined with black felt, which not only traps stray light but also slows radiative cooling of the corrector plate, helping to delay or prevent dew formation.

This model includes a notch precisely cut to fit around the NexStar 6SE’s dovetail mounting rail. That means the shield fits flush to the front of the tube without shifting or forcing, ensuring a snug, low-profile installation every time.

Features:

• Custom fit for the Celestron NexStar 6SE 6" SCT

• Flexible ABS plastic construction for durability and easy handling

• Velvet-lined interior helps prevent dew and boosts image contrast

• Single notch clears the built-in dovetail mounting rail

• Secures easily with Velcro fastening—no tools needed

• Lightweight and compact—perfect for grab-and-go setups

Observing Tip:

Even if dew isn't an immediate issue, this shield can drastically improve contrast—especially in light-polluted or suburban skies. By blocking stray light from porch lights or the Moon, you’ll get darker backgrounds and better definition on faint deep-sky objects like galaxies and nebulae.
