  • PrimaLuceLab Dew Heater for 60mm Diameter Telescopes

    The PrimaLuceLab Dew Heater for 60mm Diameter Telescopes provides a reliable 12V heating solution to keep your optics clear all night. Designed to fit tubes from 50mm to 70mm, this heater draws just 500mA of power, making it an efficient addition to any field setup. It connects via a standard RCA plug, offering native power and control when paired with a PrimaLuceLab EAGLE computer.

    Flexible Fit for 50mm to 70mm Optical Tubes

    Dew formation on objective lenses is one of the most common issues that can end an imaging or observing session, particularly with refractors and SCTs. This dew heater wraps around your optical tube, gently warming the optics above the dew point. Thanks to its elastic construction and secure Velcro fastener, it provides a firm, even fit on any telescope tube with a diameter between 50mm and 70mm, ensuring efficient heat transfer.

    12V Operation with 500mA Power Draw

    Engineered for portable astronomy, this heater operates on a standard 12V DC power supply, compatible with virtually all field batteries and power tanks. Its power consumption is a modest 500mA, allowing for continuous operation throughout the night without significantly draining your power source. The use of a common RCA connector means it can be plugged into a variety of dew controllers or power distribution units, not just PrimaLuceLab hardware.

    Native Control with PrimaLuceLab EAGLE via RCA Connector

    While this dew heater functions perfectly with any compatible 12V controller, it is designed to integrate seamlessly into the PrimaLuceLab ecosystem. When connected to one of the EAGLE's power ports, you can control the heater's output directly through the EAGLE's software interface. This eliminates the need for a separate, standalone dew controller, reducing cable clutter and simplifying your astrophotography setup.

  • Will the PrimaLuceLab 60mm Dew Heater fit my guide scope?

    Yes, this heater is an ideal choice for most 50mm and 60mm guide scopes. Its flexible range from 50mm to 70mm ensures a snug fit on the main barrel or the dew shield of common guide scopes, preventing dew from forming on the guide objective and ruining your tracking.

    Can I use this PrimaLuceLab dew heater without an EAGLE?

    Absolutely. While designed for the EAGLE system, it is a standard 12V dew heater with an RCA connector. You can plug it into any third-party dew controller or 12V power source that uses RCA-style output jacks.

    How much power does the 60mm dew heater draw?

    The heater has a power consumption of 500mA when operating at full power on a 12V supply. This is a relatively low draw, making it suitable for use with portable battery packs for extended imaging sessions.

    My 60mm refractor has a 70mm dew shield. Will this heater still work?

    Yes, it's perfectly suited for that. The heater is designed to accommodate diameters up to 70mm. Placing the heater around the dew shield, close to the objective lens, is the most effective way to prevent dew from forming on the front element of your refractor.

    Does this PrimaLuceLab dew heater have a built-in temperature controller?

    No, this is a heating element only. It does not have a built-in thermostat or controller. The power output must be regulated by an external device, such as the variable power ports on a PrimaLuceLab EAGLE or a dedicated multi-channel dew controller.

    Is this heater suitable for a small wide-field scope like a RedCat 51?

    Yes, it's an excellent match. The William Optics RedCat 51 and similar small refractors have dew shield diameters that fall comfortably within the heater's 50mm to 70mm range. Its low power draw is also well-matched to the lightweight, portable setups these telescopes are often used in.
