Kendrick - Dew Cap for 6 inch Intes Alter 603

Kendrick dewcaps are constructed of black ABS plastic and are all felt lined
for maximum absorbtion of moisture and baffling of stray light. The cap is
attached by wrapping it around your Schmidt Cassegrain telescope just below
the corrector plate ring. The two outside ends are then attached to each
other using the sewn on velcro. A rubber strip is supplied that must be
attached along the bottom of the dewcap where there is no felt. This provides
a friction fit so that the dewcap stays in place once attached. It also allows
enough room to attach one of our heaters around the corrector plate ring on
the inside of the dewcap.
Ironically, dewcaps will not prevent dew from forming on your telescope. They only delay it,
typically by 20 to 40 minutes after dew point has been reached. A dewcap will provide greater
contrast while observing by cutting down on the amount of stray light that enters the front of
your telescope due to street lights, skygolw, etc. We highly recommend the use of a dewcap if you
have a SCT for this reason alone.

We have dewcaps to fit all the Meade and Celestron SCTs and Maksutov Cassegrains.
