Omegon Dew Ribbon 406mm

Omegon Dew Ribbon 150cm - Keep your optics clear all night long
Fogged telescopes are frustrating. Eyepieces, lenses and Schmidt plates coat themselves with condensation. Your image becomes dull and details disappear. It doesn't have to. The Omegon dew tape keeps the condensation away. So you'll see stars, planets and nebulae sharp and clear from the beginning of the night to the end.

Quick to use and perfect fit
Wrap the dew tape around your telescope, viewfinder or eyepiece. The flexible design always fits snugly. Velcro closure keeps the tape securely in place. Compact and convenient - you can start observing right away.

Heats smartly and economically
Connect the dew ribbon to a 12 V 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 power 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 heating element is 20 mm wide and sits securely on the inside of the strap. The band itself is 44 mm wide, black on the outside and red inside, and made of sturdy cordura/nylon. The cable is 2 m long and connects with an RCA plug.
