#673 Dew Shield/Scope Protector for Meade ETX-90 Telescope

This product is not manufactured by Meade Instruments Corporation. Meade, ETX, Autostar are registered trade of Meade Instrument Corporation. Seller is not affiliated with Meade Instruments Corporation.

Please note the auction is for the Dew Shield Scope Protector only. All other equipment such as telescope and hard case, electric focuser are for demonstration only and is not included the the auction.

When air temperature drop to a certain point at which moisture in the air condense on cool surfaces. The temperature at which dew start forming is called the dew point. The condensed moisture as water droplet is dew. Dew is what prevents you from enjoying star gazing with you telescope. As long as the temperature is below dew point, dew will continue to form on your telescope no matter how often you wipe the telescope.

How to prevent dew on you telescope?
Use a dew shield
Use a "Dew Heater" which uses electrical power to raises the temperature of the front lens of the telescope.

How does Dew Shield Work?
Dew Shield traps stagnated air in the front of the telescope. The temperature of the stagnate air is slightly higher than ambient temperature and thus prevents dew from forming. This slight different in temperature is enough to stop the dew from forming.

Advantages when using a dew shield
Prevent dew condensation allow you to enjoy star gazing.
Blocks stray light from entering the telescope. Stray light lowers the contrast of the viewing image. Blocking out stray light will increase the image contract. This is especially obvious and important in daylight viewing. It improves astronomical viewing and astronomical photographic contrast from city observing sites by blocking neighboring stray lights. It also gives a considerable improvement in contrast during daytime terrestrial viewing and is highly recommended for daytime terrestrial photography.

What is the disadvantage of other dew shield?
I bought a brand name dew shield. It is make of flexible hard plastic and form the dew shield with Velcro strips. This dew shield works well except that I have no where to store it. It can be lay flat when not in use. However, it is too long laying flat, too bulky when rolled up. It will not fit in my telescope hard case. There is no good way to store this dew shield. I end up leaving this dew shield home when I take the telescope on trips. Other dew shields that are made of hard plastic have the same storage problem. It is not convenient.
Dew shields comparision

Your ETX telescope will fit in the hard case very nicely with the Dew Shield Scope Protector installed. Photo show a ETX-125EC in the hard case. I don't have a hard case for my ETX-90EC, however it works the same.

The Dew Shield/Scope Protector Advantage

You install the dew shield on the telescope and leave it on the telescope.
Slip the dew shield forward and put it to work: prevents dew forming and block out stray light..
Slip the dew shield backwards and it PROTECTS your telescope tube from accidental scratching.
Your telescope will fit in the hard case without removing the dew shield.
The dew shield is made of flexible Foam Rubber sheet enclosed with Velcro to form cyclindrical tube. The flexible dew shield fit snug on the telescope and is NOT screwed on to the telescope. The dew shield The foam rubber sheet is a black closed cell (a very good insultating material) which is oil-resistant, ozone-resistant, and fire-retardant made of Neoprene/Vinyl/Nitrile.

Shipping cost of three items: $5, $7.50, $5.00

Base shipping cost (Highest of all items) = $7.50
Additional items (50% or each additional items) = $2.50 + $2.50 = $5.00

Total shipping cost = $7.50 + $5.00 = $12.50
