Astrozap For Current Meade 8" LX90 and LX200 Catadioptrics, Textured Matte Blue Finish

AstroZap Flexible Dew Shield – For Current Meade 8" LX90 & LX200 SCTs (Textured Matte Blue Finish)

Protect Your Optics. Boost Your Views. Built for the Modern Meade 8-Inch SCT.

The AstroZap Flexible Dew Shield for the Meade 8" LX90 and LX200 Schmidt-Cassegrain telescopes (with the textured matte blue finish) helps keep your observing sessions running smoothly by reducing dew formation and blocking unwanted stray light. It’s a lightweight, easy-to-use solution that makes a big difference in image quality—especially during long nights under humid or light-polluted skies.

The shield is made from black ABS plastic and features a felt-lined interior that insulates the corrector plate to slow cooling and block ambient glare. A Velcro-style closure wraps it securely around the front cell of the OTA for a snug, non-slip fit that’s easy to manage—even with gloves on.

Whether you’re viewing the Moon, tracking planets, or exploring deep-sky treasures, this shield improves contrast and helps preserve optical clarity.

Observing Tip:

Even on nights when dew seems unlikely, using a dew shield can significantly increase image contrast by blocking reflections from nearby lights—like streetlamps, porch lights, or smartphone screens at public star parties. It’s a simple way to help your 8" aperture perform like a pro.
