This dew shield with integrated fan is specifically designed for Celestron C11 XLT telescopes.It effectively reduces unwanted stray light reflections and helps prevent dew formation on the corrector plate when temperature and humidity drop below the dew point.The integrated fan improves air circulation in front of the corrector plate, significantly slowing down condensation during long observing or imaging sessions. Please ensure proper electrical wiring and use appropriate power sources to avoid risks of electrical hazards or damage to your telescope.Important note:At this time, the heat exchanger that slightly warms the air blown by the fan onto the corrector plate is not included.If you are interested in the heat exchanger design, please contact me at:francesco.conti72@alice.itIncluded files:

This design is intended for astronomy enthusiasts and astrophotographers who want a practical, modular solution to improve image quality and reduce dew issues on their C11 telescope.
