Meade Dew Shield Features:
In moist climates water particles suspended in the atmosphere may condense on the front surface of the telescope's correcting plate. This dew formation may be inhibited significantly allowing greater observing time by the attachment of a dew shield, essentially a tube extension.
The high quality materials and finish are identical to the main tube of the telescope and the use of counterweights is recommended due to its weight and distance from the declination (vertical) axis. Fits onto the front lens cell of all 8" LX90 and 8" LX200 including GPS and ACF models as well as older Meade 8" Schmidt-Cassegrain models including 2080, LX50, and LX200 "Classic".
