Dew heaters are essential accessories to avoid the condensation of dew on lenses, mirrors and SC correcting plates. They incorporate an electric resistance that gently heats up the telescope to stop any condensation. The dew heater bands have to be placed on the optical tube in correspondence with the optical element.
They can be powered with a variable DC power source up to 12V or through one of the EAGLE control units. To optimize the power absorption, the dew heater can be controlled by ECCO (Environmental Computerized COntroller) that measures the dew point and communicates with EAGLE to regulate the voltage accordingly.
The Prima Luce Lab dew heater for 120mm tubes can be tightly locked around your optical tube by using the velcro patch. The closing strip is elastic and allows to connect it to telescopes with a diameter up to 120mm - 130mm.
The dew heater can be powered by a female 2.5mm RCA jack.

Customer Reviews
Quick postage and service for RRP.
The dew strap works well and is fairly robust. My only complaints are that the elastic tab is cheap rubbish that won't last. I'm amazed they bother using elastic, as the flex in the length of the main strip should negate the need for elastic. ( Easily fixed with a wrap of double sided Velcro tape). The other issue is the length of the cord. It's a good quality cord that doesn't snag easily, however, it's way too long and would be better if there was a short tail with an extension ( if needed).
I'd recommend it with those points in mind.
It'll fit snug behind the dewshield of an Esprit 120 with a tiny bit of strap overlap that doesn't include the internal heating element. I've had no issues with it attached to an ASIair while using the power slider in the app.
