I had occasion to make a couple of dew shields for my Telrads recently, and thought I would make a template and simple instructions available to anyone interested.

You can see them here:

It is a very simple project, and the cost was less than $3.

That looks great! Much nicer than the one I made out of a Pringle's can. Of course, I got to eat the Pringles in order to use the can. 8)

Thanks to the kind assistance of Michael Dziak at Astro Trim, the templates have been cleaned up, and are now available in BMP, JPEG, and TIFF Formats.

Thanks Michael!
