Simply wrap one around the telescope tube near the optics and secure it there with its integrated Velcro/elastic strap. A gentle heat is then transferred to the optics until the temperature is slightly warmer than the dew point.
This heater strap is 30cm long, please check the circumference of your telescope first to ensure this will provide a good fit.
Will I need a Dew Controller?
A simple 12V Dew Heater Supply Cable can be used to connect the tape to a suitable 12V power-supply. When connected this way, the tape is essentially running on full power. This won't harm the tape, but with smaller telescope apertures, it might result in the optic being warmer than necessary, which can affect the view and waste energy. The solution then is to use a Dew Controller that regulates the heat (also enables you to use more than one heater tape).
Good quality and reliable dew heater.
My first dew strap! Plus into my ASIAIR Plus with rca lead. Worked a treat during a few hours of 4°c clear skies. Didn’t mark the scope and the silicone lead feels like it will last.
I have no problems with this unit and am hopeful that it will stave off the dew problem efficiently. Great advice and service from FLO, as always.
Needed a new heating band. FLO were, as usual, flawless. The Lynx dew heater strap has had a small but significant design change. The power lead into tge heating element has been moved to tge side of tge end making for a much better and more secure fitting.
Great service from FLODoes the trick as expected
The Lynx Astro 30cm Dew Heater Strap is a good length to wrap around this 61 mm diameter aperture guider telescope.The Velcro strap provides good thermal contact to the telescope barrel.Warm up time < 30 minutes approximately using 12V Lynx Astro Dew Controller Power Supply at 100% setting.Excellent two day delivery from Flo.
Need these to combat due forming on optics. in cold spells These can be regulated to the right power output so as to protect focus. Easy to set up. FLO absolutely spot on again.
tested and works great..made in uk too!
Fits nicely to a William Optics ZS61 - as with other Lynx Astro product they're good quality and I'm pleased I bought them
Works great, keeps your lens clear, could be improved by using neoprene and other robust and insulating materials but so far so good !
