Dew heater for 150 mm diameter telescopes (PrimaLuceLab, SKU: PLLFAS150 ) is a lightweight heating band designed for telescopes with a tube diameter of around 150 mm – ideal for popular 6″ Schmidt-Cassegrains, Maksutovs and small Newtonians. It gently warms the front of the tube, preventing moisture condensation on the corrector plate or primary mirror on cold, damp nights.
Key Features of the 150mm Heating Band
• fits 140–160 mm tubes – elastic Velcro strap allows for quick installation • evenly distributed heating cable – no spot overheating, safe temperature for the optics • 12 V DC power supply (5.5 × 2.1 mm plug, plus in the center) – full compatibility with EAGLE, ECCO controllers and most dew-heater controllers • current consumption approx. 450 mA (≈ 5.5 W) – low battery load in the field • 1.5 m power cable – convenient cable routing along the mounting
