Omegon Dew Ribbon 229mm

Omegon Dew Ribbon 100cm - Keep your optics clear all night long
Nothing is more frustrating than a fogged-up telescope. Your eyepieces, lenses and Schmidt plates cover themselves with a thin layer of condensation. Your images become dull, details disappear. It doesn't have to. The Omegon dew tape keeps the condensation away. So your image stays sharp and clear, from the first star to the last deep-sky object.

Easy to use, perfect fit
Wrap the dew tape around your telescope, viewfinder or eyepiece. The flexible design always fits snugly. The Velcro closure keeps the tape securely in place. After your observation, simply roll it back up. Compact, convenient, always ready to use.

Smart heating, energy efficient
Connect the dew tape to a 12V DC power source. It heats your optics only a few degrees above ambient temperature - just enough to prevent dew. It consumes little power, so your battery lasts longer. You can also connect it to a pulse controller to save energy and manage two ribbons at once.

Why it works
Condensation forms when your optics cool and moisture from the air hits them - just like glasses on a cold night. The dew tape keeps the temperature just a little higher, so water droplets don't form. While others are already packing up their telescopes, you can continue observing.

Practical details
The 20 mm wide heating element sits securely on the inside of the belt. The strap itself is 44 mm wide, black with red inside, and made of sturdy cordura/nylon. The cable is 2 meters long and connects with a tulip plug.
