Heated dew shield for Meade 6" LT6 and LS6 SCT

AstroZap Flexi-Heat Dew Shield for Meade 6" LT6 & LS6 SCTs

Dew may be a fact of life in astronomy—but it doesn’t have to be the end of your observing session. Designed specifically for the Meade 6" LT6 and LS6 Schmidt-Cassegrain telescopes, the AstroZap Flexi-Heat dew shield adds active dew prevention to your setup without the hassle of separate heater bands or complicated installations.

Crafted from flexible, high-quality black ABS plastic, this shield is lightweight and easy to install. A Velcro-fastening strip secures the shield around the front cell of your Meade OTA, while the interior velvet lining reduces stray light reflections and helps insulate against rapid temperature loss.

Built into the body of the shield is a low-power heating element that connects to any standard dew controller via an RCA-style plug. Once powered, the shield gently warms the corrector plate to stay just above the ambient dew point—keeping your optics clear and your observing uninterrupted.

Features:

• Custom fit for Meade 6" LT6 and LS6 Schmidt-Cassegrain telescopes

• Built-in heater strip with RCA plug for use with standard dew controllers

• Velvet-lined interior for light suppression and thermal buffering

• Flexible ABS plastic construction for durability and ease of use

• Velcro closure for fast, tool-free attachment

• Combines passive and active dew protection in one integrated solution

Observing Tip:

If you’ve ever had your corrector plate fog up just when Saturn hits the sweet spot, you know how frustrating dew can be. The Flexi-Heat dew shield keeps your optics warm and dry without needing to wrap and tape separate heater bands, making it a cleaner, faster solution—especially handy on outreach nights or when you're setting up in a hurry.
