Dew heater for 450 mm diameter telescopes (PrimaLuceLab, SKU: PLLFAS450 ) is a wide heating band designed for large reflector, Schmidt-Cassegrain and RC telescopes with a tube diameter of about 450 mm . Placed in the front of the tube, it gently heats the air around the optics, effectively preventing moisture condensation on mirrors and lenses even on very humid nights.
