Against annoying dew – for crystal-clear vision
The nights are not always as dry and clear as one would like. Often, the optics fog up during the night. When a fine misty layer settles on your objective or eyepiece, your night of observing is over. Heater bands help to outsmart the dew. With the Omegon W&W 2-channel control unit for heater bands, you can individually adjust the heating power of up to four individual heater bands. Each output can be set individually to the required power level. Operation via a push button is simple and easy, even when wearing gloves.
The advantages at a glance:
- PWM power adjustment for efficient operation, giving you full control over your instruments
- Power per channel adjustable in 25% increments: use only as much energy as necessary
- 12V power supply via cigarette lighter plug: enjoy the flexibility of taking your astronomical equipment with you wherever you go
- Plenty of leeway: 2 metre long connection cable
- 4A fuse in the cigarette lighter plug: protects against overload and ensures a long service life for your heater bands
- The LED indicators make it child's play to find the right setting
All heater bands with RCA connectors (also known as "cinch") are compatible. The clip helps to attach the device to the telescope, mount or tripod. We recommend using Velcro tape.
With the W&W 2-channel control unit, the frustration of fogged or iced-up optics is a thing of the past!
Please order heater bands and power supply separately (see recommended accessories).
Our expert comment:
The output of this box are 'cinch' type connectors. This is the same type of plug as is also used for Astrozap, AST Optics and Lunatico products.
