Dew Heaters

Folks - anyone got any feedback on dew heaters? Being a victim of foreshortened observing sessions, I think I should invest...

I heard Kendricks are very good...

I have a Kendrick set and they work great. But since i have found this site and their prodiucts are vey similar but cheaper:

Have fun

yip. Kendrick with Dew Buster - cloudynights.com/accessories2/dewbuster.htm - a perfect combination.

Dave,

Well, I'm glad you changed the first version of your post!

Kendrick dew heaters are excellent but you could make your own for less money. I made one for my SCT which works well. Can't recall what plans I used as it was some years ago but here's a couple of links. Radionics or Peats can supply the components.

Gordon - thought I'd deleted that quick enough for no-one to see it... :oops:

Hope it wasn't a Freudian slip!

Thanks for the links - will follow them up!

Dew heaters are a MUST if you have a schmidt/mak type scope. I got mine from Telescope House in the UK and it's fine.
