Dew Zapper for 35mm SLR camera lens

Hi there all,

during last weekend's Kielder Sky Camp I was fighting against heavy
dew to keep my camera, lens and filter free from dew, whilst taking pictures
of the night sky.

So, does anyone out there know of a supplier of dew zapping tapes
for cameras, lenses and the like, that would run off a 12 volt (or smaller)
battery pack?

regards

Robert

There's several solutions to this.

1. The Kendrick Dew system. (http://www.kendrickastro.com/astro/index.html)
2. the Astro-Engineering dew zapper.

3. Make your own for pence. It's actually quite easy to do, just take a
look at my website (www.cjdawson.com) you can make one to run from a 12v
supply easily, don't worry about building the dew controller, just use a
switch to turn the element on and off as needed. The controller is really
required for a telescope where you'd need to control the temperature for the
scope for many hours.
