Celestron Lens Shade/Dew Cap
The Celestron Lens Shade/Dew Cap is a tube of approximately the same diameter as your telescope tube which reduces the amount of dew that builds up on the corrector plate. It also serves as a lens shade, preventing stray light from falling upon the corrector plate and thus greatly improves contrast.
This shade is manufactured of rugged, soft Foamex plastic. It can be stowed away flat after usage. Celestron employs a thicker material that won't crack as easily as other manufacturer's efforts, with sewing instead of inexpensive glue for a longer service life.

Comments about Celestron Lens Shade/Dew Cap:
Fits great and works as expected, only issue is that it is slightly off shapen and takes a long time to get it to fit without partially blocking your view.

Comments about Celestron Lens Shade/Dew Cap:
This was a perfect fit for my Nexstar 6SE scope. Very easy to install and it folds flat for easy storage. Its a perfect dew cap for where I use my scope and looks like it will last very long with little care.

Comments about Celestron Lens Shade/Dew Cap:
I bought this dew shield in an effort to do just that--shield my Celestron 6SE from dew. It's a very well made, simple product that seems to work well. As a first step toward preventing dew build up , this product is well priced and cheaper than buying a full blown heated system (I don't stay out all night so I don't seem to need the heated system). Furthermore, I build a lot of my own custom devices and products and considered making my own dew shield to save money, but quickly realize that at this price point, simply buying the Celestron shield made great sense and yielded a cheaper and better product. Highly recommended.

Comments about Celestron Lens Shade/Dew Cap:
This dew cap works great! I used in south florida where humidity is always very high on a cold night for about 6-7 hours of star gazing, during the 12/21 lunar eclipse, I had absolutely no problems with dew collecting on my scope. As a matter of fact I had dew on all my equipment but the telescope, thanks in grand part to the dew cap.
