Dew Shields

Farpoint telescope dew shields keep you observing and imaging all night — no more stopping to deal with dew forming on your SCT corrector plate or refractor lens. Proudly made in the USA with premium materials and careful workmanship.

Our flexible dew shields are built from nearly indestructible ABS sheet with sewn-in ultra-strong hook-and-loop fasteners. Foam padding grips your telescope firmly while protecting the finish, and the felt-lined interior reduces stray light reflections for noticeably improved contrast. They store flat for easy transport to star parties and dark sky sites.

We carry telescope dew shields sized for Celestron (4SE through 14" SCTs), Meade (8" through 16" SCTs), and select refractors — with both standard and notched versions available for scopes with side-mounted finder brackets or accessory bars.
