Dew Controller SCT-Strip location

Well, this question is simple...

I just got my Dew Controller and the 10" Strip for my SCT. Weather has been nice, but I know things will change soon, and DEW will crawl all over the scope.

I've seen people using their Dew Controller Strips all over their scopes, being in the front of the corrector, right on it, and also way behind it...

I would expect that the Strip would go on it (meaning the Corrector ring), or in front of it, but not behind the Corrector ring... am I wrong?
Wouldn't this introduce currents inside the scope?



Thanks, and clear skies!

Hi Ivan,

I use my strip directly "on" the corrector ring.. Since my
dew shield foam ring must sit behind, and nudged up next to
the corrector ring...


Clear Skies!!!! Really!!! Hummm!! Interesting!!! HUmmm!
