NEW! Runs Multiple Heating Bands to Keep All Your Optics Bone Dry Orion Dew Zapper Pro 4-Channel Dew Prevention System. With Dew Zapper Pro you’ll never again have to quit an observing or imaging session because dew clouded up your optics. Our advanced dew prevention system powers up to four individual heating bands independently. So you can keep all of your optics — main telescope, finder scope, guide scope, eyepieces, or other optical accessories — bone dry in high humidity or dew-prone weather. Five different heating band sizes are available. The Dew Zapper Pro control module is powered by a 12-volt field battery such as the Dynamo Pro (sold separately), and comes with a car lighter-style DC plug on a 12′ cable. The microprocessor-controlled circuitry delivers pulse-width modulation for stable, precise temperature control. Each of the four heater outputs has its own temperature control knob with a full range of adjustment from 0% to 100%, and each has a red LED power indicator. Set the output of each channel to provide just the right amount of heating for the prevailing conditions. Don’t let high humidity or dew dampen your spirits – or your optics. Get the Dew Zapper Pro today! Made in the U.S.A. One-year limited warranty.

Orion Dew Zapper for 9.25″ Schmidt-Cassegrain Telescopes Review
A review of Orion Dew Zapper for 9.25″ Schmidt-Cassegrain Telescopes.
Price: 45.95 USD
Manufacturer: Orion
Orion Dew Zapper for 9.25″ Schmidt-Cassegrain Telescopes – Product Warranty:
Product Type: Telescope Accessories > Dew Control
With Dew Zapper, you’ll never have to stop observing to remove condensation from the front plate of your Schmidt-Cassegrain or Maksutov-Cassegrain. An unprotected corrector lens will radiate heat, quickly cooling to below ambient air temperature, allowing dew to form. Dew Zapper gently replaces lost heat, bringing the temperature of the corrector lens back above the dew point. Dew can’t form, and you never get “heat wave” disturbances like those caused by warm-air blowers and heated dew caps. The flexible, fiberglass-reinforced heating element straps securely in place with a Velcro fastener. Runs on 12-volt DC power. Plugs into a car cigarette-lighter receptacle or a “field battery,” delivering up to 20 watts, 2 amps. All models include a 10′ cable.
