Celestron94018 Deluxe Telescope Dew Shield with Velcro Attachment Points - Prevents Dew Formation on 6" and 8” Schmidt Cassegrain or EdgeHD Telescope Lenses, Black

Hello Fellow Astronomers,I read that this dew shield doesn't fit the 8se telescope and quite frankly, when I got mine, I also thought it didn't fit properly. I though it should have been wider so that the whole hook-and-loop section should be used and I only overlapped the hook-and-loop by about one half. Today, I decided to overlap the whole hook-and-loop section and tried attching it to my 8se. Well, what do you know, it fits snugly and the unit is now properly fastened by the whole hook-and-loop section.

This is a great dew shield for the EdgeHD 8 or any other 8" SCT. It withstands a breeze and low angles without drooping. I use a HyperStar with my camera and it doesn't interfere with either. I wrap it around the SCT and long dovetail inside the padded case for travel and it doesn't have any odd bends when I take it out. I'm very happy with this dew shield.

It works. Not the best fit for my CPC 800 but it does work and construction is good.

se acomodo muy bien a mi V8

On a cold night where my telescope was warm, I was able to put it outside, and view through it and get no condensation on the main telescope glass. That's all you need a dew shield to do, and this does it. Its nice to have something that fits the Celestron 8se perfectly, and is made specifically for it.

This was the les expensive model of the dew shields offered by Celestron for my telescope. I combined it with a dew shield Celestron Heater ring. As expected from Celestron it worked great with a great fit and a great dew heater the combination was great. I think that I am going to order the solid aluminum dew shield. Not because there is anything wrong with the flex system but because I use my scope often in the winter. I just feel that the hard scope cover would perform better in my application.As for the ease of use, it is a simple matter of attaching the two ends of the Velcro together. The alignment takes takes care of itself. I would recommend both dew shields. But if you use it like I do, then I would go with the solid shield with the cover.

It did what it was supposed to do except for some reason it seemed to cut down the amount of light I was able to gather with my telescope made it a little tougher to see things with it on. Going to buy the warmer ring and install it I think it will work much better it fits exactly like they say it will and it does keep the dew off of your lens but you need to be looking at a fairly bright object or being a very very dark place because it will cut down the amount of light entering your telescope

As someone else mentioned, this BARELY fits the Celestron Nexstar 8se. It's fine, but a little more overlap would be nice. Otherwise it's good.
