Astrozap Flexi-Heat Dew Shield for Meade 12" SCTs

AstroZap Flexi-Heat Dew Shield for Meade 12" SCTs

Big scopes gather big light—and unfortunately, they also gather big dew. The AstroZap Flexi-Heat Dew Shield for Meade 12" Schmidt-Cassegrain Telescopes gives your OTA the protection it needs to stay dry, sharp, and ready for deep-sky adventures all night long. It combines passive shielding with active dew control, all in one professional-grade upgrade.

Constructed from lightweight black ABS plastic, this dew shield wraps securely around the front of your 12" SCT with a Velcro fastening system. The velvet-lined interior acts as a light trap to enhance contrast while also providing thermal insulation that slows the formation of dew. But the star feature is the integrated low-wattage heater strip, built directly into the shield body and powered via a standard RCA plug. Just connect it to your dew controller (sold separately), and you’re protected—even in heavy humidity or all-night sessions.

Custom fit for Meade 12" SCTs, this model ensures proper alignment and coverage with no tools, no drooping, and no dew getting in the way of your view.

Features:

• Designed specifically for Meade 12" Schmidt-Cassegrain Telescopes

• Combines a dew shield and built-in heater in one clean design

• RCA jack connects to standard dew heater controllers

• Velvet-lined interior improves contrast and reduces dew formation

• Durable black ABS plastic with flexible wraparound design

• Velcro closure for fast, tool-free installation and secure fit

Observing Tip:

The larger your aperture, the faster your corrector plate radiates heat—and that means dew forms even sooner. A heated shield like this not only blocks stray light from nearby sources, it ensures your big 12" SCT stays dry and performs at its best, even on nights when everything else is dripping.
