Astrozap Celestron 14 SCT Flexi-Heat® Heated Flexible Dew Shield - with Upper and Lower Dovetail Notches

AstroZap AZ-814-N-2 Flexi-Heat® Heated Dew Shield for Celestron 14" SCTs with Upper and Lower Dovetails

When you're working with a telescope as large and capable as a Celestron 14" SCT, dew buildup isn't just a nuisance—it can bring an entire night of imaging or observing to a premature end. The AstroZap AZ-814-N-2 Flexi-Heat® heated dew shield offers a reliable solution, providing combined passive and active dew protection for larger optical tubes with both upper and lower dovetail bars.

Specifically designed to fit Celestron CGX-L 1400 SCT and CGX-L 1400 EdgeHD optical tubes, this flexible dew shield wraps securely around the front cell of the telescope and fastens with padded VELCRO® Brand straps that won't scratch or mar the finish. A notch on both the upper and lower edge allows clearance for dual dovetail plates or guide scope rails, ensuring a snug and interference-free fit.

The AZ-814-N-2 features a built-in heating element rated at 11 watts @ 12 volts (0.92 amps). When connected to an Astrozap Dew Controller (AZ-720) or D/C adapter (AZ-719), it gently warms the corrector plate just enough to stay ahead of condensation, even in humid or frost-prone conditions. The interior black felt lining helps passively absorb moisture and block stray light, preserving image contrast in light-polluted environments.

Constructed from rugged ABS-grade polymer, the dew shield is lightweight yet durable, and it rolls up easily for transport to remote observing sites or star parties. The integrated design eliminates the need for a separate heater strip, reducing gear clutter around the front of your scope and simplifying setup.

For owners of large-aperture SCTs, this all-in-one dew control solution is a smart, field-tested upgrade.
