Celestron Smart DewHeater and Power Controller 4x

Keeping dew under control without wasting power, the Celestron Smart DewHeater and Power Controller 4X brings temperature, humidity and power management together in one telescope accessory. Built to control up to four pieces of equipment, it monitors environmental conditions in real time and adjusts heat output to help prevent dew forming on optical surfaces while extending battery life.

This controller includes four 12V DC output ports, with one variable-voltage port adjustable from 3V to 12V for lower-voltage accessories such as a DSLR camera. It also incorporates three powered USB 3.2 Type-A ports, allowing connected devices to be managed through compatible Celestron hand controls or CPWI software. A sturdy metal housing, internal cooling fan, integrated cable management bridge and mounting options for CGE or CG-5 dovetails or a tripod leg make it a practical addition to a telescope setup.
