Enhance your setup To achieve the highest level of dew prevention while maximising power efficiency, we strongly recommend pairing the Dew Heater Ring with a Smart DewHeater Controller (sold separately).

The controller uses the ring's built-in thermistor and its internal environmental sensor to provide just the right amount of heat to the corrector to prevent dew based upon the ambient temperature, ambient humidity, and temperature of the Schmidt corrector, which can dramatically reduce the ring's power draw, greatly increasing battery life.

This ensures clear, dew-free viewing even under heavy dew conditions. Plus, it's easy to use - simply plug the ring into an external 12V DC power source. Storage clips for power and thermistor jacks: The Dew Heater Ring features two storage clips to keep the power and thermistor jacks secure when not in use.

This not only protects these components from damage but also accommodates the telescope's dust cover. It's a thoughtful design detail that adds to the overall user-friendly nature of this accessory. Cable management clip: The Dew Heater Ring comes with a cable management clip that connects to the telescope's front cell.
