Catalog description

Kendrick FireFly Telescope Dew Heaters, part number KEND008, is a discontinued product from the 2007–2011 catalog. It was last listed at $21.00, down from a high of $49.00.

Kendrick's new FireFly heaters are designed for the astronomer who requires a dew prevention system that is both economical in price and power. Although unable to perform up to the high standards as our original Premier brand of heaters astronomers and anyone else requiring heated optics for dew prevention can depend on our FireFly heaters to perform under all but the most demanding observing conditions.

Having lower power requirements than our Premier heater line these heaters will extend the life of your battery between charges. Using a different heater technology but operating under the same principle as our Premier line of heaters these heaters will mildly disperse heat into your optics without compromising the figure of your telescope or camera optics.

As well because of our unique manufacturing process the FireFly heaters will direct their heat into your optics instead of losing it into the atmosphere. We have had these heaters independently tested for heat transmission and the resulting images below clearly show the effectiveness of our build technology. These heaters are very effective in directing most of the heat into the optics which is important if dew is to be prevented. We use high quality Velcro elastic and connectors with these heaters. All the FireFly heaters come branded with our permanent white identification label for easy identification in the field.
