Astrozap For Celestron 8" EdgeHD SCT, Textured Black, With Notches

AstroZap Aluminum Dew Shield – For Celestron 8" EdgeHD SCT (Textured Black Finish, With Notches)

Custom-Fit, Rigid Dew Protection for Fully Accessorized EdgeHD 8-Inch Tubes

The AstroZap Aluminum Dew Shield for the Celestron 8" EdgeHD Schmidt-Cassegrain telescope offers serious protection against dew and stray light—designed specifically for EdgeHD OTAs with upper and/or lower dovetail rails. This version features precision-cut notches to accommodate the rails while maintaining a snug, stable fit around the front cell.

Made from rigid, black powder-coated aluminum with a textured finish that matches your EdgeHD, this shield is built to hold up in breezy conditions or during long imaging sessions. Inside, the felt lining helps delay radiative cooling and improves contrast by suppressing ambient light scatter.

Nylon thumbscrews provide a secure, non-marring fit and make installation quick and tool-free. Whether you’re working from your backyard or under remote dark skies, this dew shield adds confidence and clarity to your observing setup.

Key Features:

• Designed for Celestron 8" EdgeHD SCTs with Dovetail Rails

• Dual Notches: Accommodates upper and lower mounting bars for equatorial setups

• Rigid Powder-Coated Aluminum: Textured black finish matches EdgeHD aesthetic

• Felt-Lined Interior: Insulates corrector plate and reduces stray light

• Nylon Thumbscrews: Tool-free installation that won’t damage your OTA

• Made in the USA: Precision-built by AstroZap for field or permanent use

Compatibility:

Fits Celestron 8" EdgeHD SCTs with top and/or bottom dovetail rails. Notch design allows clearance for rails without compromising fit. For standard EdgeHD tubes without extra rails, see the non-notched version.

Observing Tip:

Even small 8" SCTs are vulnerable to dew buildup—especially on humid nights or in early morning hours. A rigid shield with notches lets you protect your corrector without interfering with your guiding scope, mounting hardware, or rail-based accessories.
