Cylindrical aluminum dew shield with velvet interior and cable slot, plus cover cap

Celestron

Celestron 14" Aluminum Dew Shield with Cover Cap for 14" EdgeHD, 36cm RASA, SCT post-2006

SKU CH-FGJA-R3JYC

Aluminum dew shield with velvet lining and cable slot fits 14" EdgeHD, 36cm RASA and post-2006 SCT tubes

  • Minimizes dew for clearer views with aluminum construction
  • Protects optics from dust and stray light with velvet lining
  • Precision fit for 14" EdgeHD, 36cm RASA, SCT post-2006
  • Secure attachment clips prevent slippage during use
  • 5 x 2 inch cable slot keeps wiring organized

Precision Fit for 14" Celestron Telescopes

This aluminum dew shield is built specifically for 14" EdgeHD, 36cm RASA, and Schmidt-Cassegrain tubes manufactured after 2006. Secure plastic clips hold the cylinder firmly in place, preventing slippage and maintaining optical alignment throughout a session.

Blocks Stray Light and Manages Cables

The rigid aluminum body resists folding or flexing, while a velvet-lined interior absorbs residual light and moisture to boost contrast. An integrated cable slot measuring 1.5 x 2 inches keeps wiring organised and protected from tangling during long imaging runs.

Replaces Flexible Fabric Shields

Rigid construction eliminates the sag and vibration common with soft dew caps, making the upgrade worthwhile for imagers who need stable contrast and reliable dew prevention. Buyers using telescopes smaller than 14" or models produced before 2006 cannot use this shield.

Questions about this item

How long does the 14-inch aluminum shield keep the corrector plate above the dew point during an all-night session?

The shield is designed to minimize radiative cooling so the Schmidt corrector stays above the dew point for an extended period, though exact duration depends on ambient humidity and temperature drop.

Does the velvet-lined interior add noticeable heat retention or weight when the telescope runs all day?

The velvet lining absorbs stray light and residual moisture rather than trapping heat, and the rigid aluminum cylinder resists flexing without adding significant thermal mass.

Which mounting hardware must already be on my 14-inch EdgeHD or post-2006 SCT tube for the plastic clips to engage?

The shield's secure plastic attachment clips fasten directly to the standard outer rim of Celestron 14" EdgeHD, 36 cm RASA, or Schmidt-Cassegrain tubes manufactured after 2006.
