Often, during the night, optics fog up. Eyepieces, lenses, and Schmidt plates: when a thin layer of fog forms on the optics, the observing night is over. But this doesn't have to be the case. Omegon heated strips keep dew at bay and guarantee you a clear view all night long.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAdvantages at a glance:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe heated strip keeps the telescope, finder, and eyepieces free of fog.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEasy adjustment: flexible strap for a perfect fit.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVelcro closure: attaches anywhere on the top of the heated cuff.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCinch plug with 2-meter cable length.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAvailable in different lengths.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCompact and always at hand\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSimply practical: just roll the cuff around the optical tube or eyepiece at the beginning of your observing session. It fits like a glove and is secured by means of a self-adhesive closure. And when you're done exploring the sky, just put it back in the eyepiece case. This way you'll always have your telescope heater at hand, for a clean optical tube.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eKeep the optical tube free of fog\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe cable with RCA connector should be plugged into a suitable power source. 12 V DC power is evenly distributed throughout the cuff at only 0.2 W\/cm. This means your cuff maintains a temperature a few degrees above the outside temperature, thus eliminating the risk of fogging. In addition, it doesn't consume too much energy, making it battery-friendly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe heated cuff can be connected to a pulse controller to save energy. Tip: as an accessory, we recommend the Omegon dew shield heater controller. It allows you to connect up to 2 heated cuffs simultaneously and adjust their performance individually.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWhy does the optical tube fog up?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe effects of fog on the optical tube are well known to those who wear glasses. It is generated from cold in a hot space. It suddenly leaves a layer of fog formed by fine water droplets on the glasses as hot air condenses on the cold glass surfaces. The same thing happens on the lenses of your telescope's optical tube. When the optical tube cools down, condensed water settles on the surface. But that's a thing of the past!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith heated cuffs, you can enjoy longer and more fruitful observing sessions. While your fellow astronomers will have to pack up and go home, you can continue observing for as long as you want.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eOther advantages:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e20 mm wide internal heating element\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCuff width of 44 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eColor: black exterior and red interior\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaterial: cordura and nylon\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eScope of delivery:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eheated cuff with cable and RCA connector\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Omegon","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53581619167575,"sku":"53514","price":88.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0552\/6198\/6860\/files\/53514_1.jpg?v=1779016735","url":"https:\/\/astrotelescopios.com\/en-uk\/products\/manguito-calefactado-de-50-cm-para-5","provider":"Astro Telescopios","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
