Telrad Finder Dew Shield

The Telrad Dew Shield ATTDS is a dedicated accessory built to fit Telrad reflex finders. It stops condensation from forming on the unit’s glass plate during cool, damp observing sessions. Astronomers who use a Telrad finder as their primary aiming tool will keep their view clear without wiping the optic.

Flip-over shield with rotating hinge

A simple hinge lets the shield flip down over the glass plate when you pause between targets, then rotate upward the moment you resume scanning. The mechanism adds no tools or fasteners to the finder body and leaves the sight window completely unobstructed when open. Durable materials withstand repeated nightly cycles in the field.

Replaces improvised caps or no protection

Observers currently using makeshift covers, cloths or nothing at all gain a purpose-built barrier that stays aligned and secure. The upgrade is worthwhile whenever dew regularly forms on the finder during long sessions, eliminating the need to clear the plate by hand and preserving dark-adapted vision.

Questions about this item

Does the Telrad dew shield use a hinge or clip to attach to the finder?

It flips over the glass plate and rotates upward, so the shield stays on the finder and pivots rather than clipping on and off.

How much extra height does the shield add above the finder when it is flipped up?

The shield adds roughly its own length above the glass plate when rotated upward for viewing.

Do I need tools to fit the Telrad dew shield onto my finder?

No tools are required; the shield is designed to flip into place over the existing glass plate by hand.
