Celestron 8" Schmidt-Cassegrain Telescope Bundle with Dew Heater Ring and Vibration Suppression Pads

Celestron – Dew Heater Ring – Aluminum Dew Prevention – Compatible 8” Schmidt-Cassegrain, EdgeHD, RASA TelescopeThe Celestron Dew Heater Ring is the ideal dew prevention solution for your Celestron telescope. This must-have accessory will improve your observing or imaging nights year-round. The Dew Heater Ring is custom fit for your 8" Celestron Schmidt-Cassegrain, EdgeHD, and RASA optical tube and permanently replaces your retaining ring to provide efficient heating across the plate and so you'll never be caught without it. The process is quick and easy. The ring is constructed of lightweight, durable aluminum. Its rigid frame supports the cable circuity and the telescope's Schmidt corrector lens. Plug the ring into an external 12V DC power source for consistent, continuous heat that will prevent dew from forming. The Dew Heater Ring features two storage clips on the ring to keep the power and thermistor jacks secure while accommodating the telescope's dust cover. The Dew Heater Ring also comes with a cable management clip that connects to the telescope's front cell for a convenient location to help you corral essential cables instead of dangling and causing unnecessary weight on your corrector.Celestron Vibration Suppression PadsWind, an unsteady tripod, or even an accidental bump can disturb your image quality. Keep your telescope still while observing with these sturdy pads. Simply place your tripod legs on top of the pads to absorb shock and stabilize your telescope. Celestron’s set of three Vibration Suppression Pads are manufactured using Sorbothane (available only in the USA) recognized worldwide as the ultimate material for attenuating shock, isolating vibration and damping noise. No synthetic rubber or polymer can dissipate energy as effectively. BEWARE OF CHEAPER KNOCK-OFFS USING LESS CAPABLE MATERIALS! Imitations use silicon which is low-cost, does not work well, and may melt in the sun. Similar materials used in China look and feel the same, but do not perform half as well as products using Sorbothane.
