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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Farpoint flexible dew shield is the simplest and most effective dew prevention tool you can own — no power required, no batteries, no warming straps.
