Item #94019

A Lens Shade/Dew Cap is a tube, of approximately the same diameter as your telescope tube, designed to fit on the front end of the telescope to reduce the amount of dew that builds up on the corrector plate. It also serves as a Len Shade by preventing stray light from falling on the corrector plate, which greatly improves contrast.

The 8" Lens Shade, item #94019, is made of rugged plastic, and has a tapered design (other designs made with different materials cause vignetting). It snaps easily onto the front cell of all of Celestron’s 8" Schmidt-Cassegrain telescopes.

Celestron also offers a complete line of rugged, but soft Foamex plastic lens shades that can be put away flat after usage. They use a thicker material and won’t crack easily as other manufacturer’s products do. The quality level is a step above all others as all material is sewn (not glued in some places) for a long life.
