Proper placement of dew heaters is key to preventing moisture buildup. Follow these tips:
- Wrap heaters evenly around the optical element to avoid cold spots.
- For refractors, focus on the objective lens.
- For reflectors, target the corrector plate or secondary mirror housing.
- Avoid overlapping heater strips to prevent hot spots.
- Secure heaters firmly but gently to prevent damage.
Correct placement maximizes efficiency and protects your optics from dew and heat damage.
