Manufacturer's product description:
An unobscured view all night - control for two dew shields or heating strips
The new control unit from Omegon for operating two heated dew shields or heating strips.
The advantages in a nutshell
- only as much power as you require - pulse duration modulation technology regulates the power
- waterproof control unit for two dew shields or heating strips
- 1.5 metre long cable with cigarette lighter connector. Fits all Powertanks.
Two connections for clear viewing
This dew heating system lets you control up to two dew shields or heating strips at the same time - an advantage if you want to keep not just your Schmidt corrector plate but also your eyepiece free from dew. But, of course, what you connect is entirely up to you.
Tip: Look under 'Telescope Accessories' in 'Miscellaneous Accessories' for 'Dew Shields' - for dew shields and heating strips with a 'cinch' type connector.
Control knob for power regulation
Our product development department has equipped this control system with additional technology which makes it possible to regulate the output in a stepless and efficient way so that even long nights are no longer a problem. The rotary knob allows the power to be set to the level required. Red LEDs indicate whether the channels are supplied with power.
Waterproof box for every astronomical use
The small control box is waterproof, so dew on the grass or moisture in the air will not affect it. It also has additional electronic protection. The control unit comes with a 1.5 metre long cable with a cigarette lighter socket connector.
Our expert comment:
The output of this box are 'cinch' type connectors. This is the same type of plug as is also used for Astrozap, AST Optics and Lunatico products.

Product description:
Heating strip for the secondary mirror - keeps your view of the night sky clear
Despite a cloudless sky, sometimes an invisible 'enemy' is lurking - high humidity. Your telescope optics will then fog up faster than you would like. A fine, mist-like layer lays forming on your secondary mirror means your night's observing is over. Keep dew in check with an Omegon heating strip. The heating element will always ensure a clear view. So you can enjoy clear nights from now on - regardless of the dew.
The advantages in a nutshell
- your secondary mirror will no longer fog-up
- easy adjustment - flexible band for a perfect fit
- adhesive strap fastener - fixes anywhere on the top of the heater strip.
- Cinch/RCA plug with 2 metres of cable
- heating strip in two different sizes (12cm or 14cm) - for small and large secondary mirrors
Keep your optics from fogging-up
Simply connect to a suitable power source using the lead with the Cinch/RCA plug supplied. A 12V DC supply evenly distributes the energy to the strip at just 0.2 Watts per centimetre. The heating strip effectively keeps the temperature just a few degrees above the ambient temperature, just enough to ensure that dew no longer has a chance to form. It also uses minimal energy, hence sparing your battery.
The heating cable can also be connected to a pulse controller to save energy. Tip - we recommend using the Omegon controller as an accessory for dew shield heating. This allows you to connect two heating cables at once and adjust the power to them individually.
Why do optics fog-up?
Anyone who wears glasses knows from personal experience exactly what effect dew has on an optical surface. A sudden fine mist of water forms on your spectacles when you come into a warm room out of the cold - the warm air condenses onto the cold glass surface. Exactly the same thing happens on the surfaces of your telescope optics. When your optics cool down, condensed water settles onto its surfaces - time to clear the view!
Omegon strip heaters provide you with longer observing sessions. And, when other stargazers are giving up and packing up their telescopes, you can continue observing for just as long as you want!

Product description:
Heating strips - keeping your view of the night sky clear
Nights are not always as dry and clear as you would like. Optical surfaces will often fog up at night. And once your optics - eyepieces, lenses or Schmidt corrector plates - have fogged up, then your observing is over for the night. But this can be avoided. Omegon heating strips keep off the dew and guarantee you super clear observing - all night long.
The advantages in a nutshell
- heating strips stop your telescope, finder and eyepieces from fogging up.
- easy adjustment - a flexible strip for a perfect fit
- adhesive strap - holds fast at any point on top of the heating strip
- cinch connector with 2 meter cable
- available in different lengths
Compact and can be used at any time
Highly practical - at the beginning of your observing session, simply wrap the heating strip around the OTA or your eyepiece. The strip fits like a glove and can be fixed in place using the adhesive strap fastener. After you are finished observing, just stow it back in the eyepiece case. Your telescope heater for ensuring your optics remain fog-free will hence always be handy.
Keeps your optics free from fogging-up
Connect the one meter cinch plug cable to a suitable power source. A 12V DC supply distributes the energy evenly to the strip, at only 0.2 watts per centimeter. This means the heating strip maintains the temperature effectively a few degrees above the outside temperature, so dew now has no chance to form. Also, it only needs minimal energy and is therefore gentle on your battery.
The heating strip can be connected to a pulse controller, allowing it to be operated in a power-saving mode. Tip: We recommend the Omegon control unit for your dew heaters. This allows you to connect up to two heating strips at the same time and individually adjust the power to each one.
Why do your optics fog-up?
The effect of dew on an optical surface is well known to every spectacle wearer who has come into a warm room from cold conditions outside - a fine mist of water droplets forms on the spectacles as the warm air condenses onto the cold glass surfaces. Exactly the same happens on the lenses of your telescope optics. As your optics cool down, water condenses onto the surface. Then it's time to free your view!
Omegon heating strips offer you longer, and more pleasurable, observing sessions. When other astronomers have already packed up their telescopes and left, you can stay observing for as long as you want!
