This Farpoint FP345 dew shield for 190mm Maksutov-Newtonian telescopes is a precision-sized flexible dew shield for the Orion 190 Mak-Newt and Sky-Watcher Starlux 190. The Mak-Newt’s front meniscus dews fast — this shield extends the tube to slow heat loss and keep your optics clear through the night.

Why You Need a Dew Shield
The front of your telescope radiates heat directly into the cold night sky. Once the front optic drops below the ambient dew point, moisture condenses on it — blurring your view and ending your observing session. A dew shield extends the tube to create a buffer of still air in front of the optic, dramatically slowing heat loss.
The Farpoint flexible dew shield is the simplest and most effective dew prevention tool you can own — no power required, no batteries, no warming straps. Just slip it on and observe.

-
Hook-and-loop closure — wraps tightly, removes in seconds, stores flat
