The control system for all your anti-dew needs.

Keep dew off your optics—telescope, binoculars, corrector plates, eyepieces—with a reliable, interference-free heater controller and custom-fit heating bands from Lunaticoastro.

ZeroDew anti-dew controller

Dew is the enemy of a clear night

Moisture settling on your optics ruins images and can damage coatings. The ZeroDew controller keeps all your heating bands running at exactly the right power level, silently, interference-free and automatically.

Four independently regulated outputs let you run heater bands on different elements simultaneously: primary mirror, corrector plate, finder, eyepieces and more.

  • 4 independent regulated outputs
  • Works with Lunatico bands and all third-party heater bands
  • RCA and USB band connectors supported
  • Interference-free PWM technology
  • Reverse polarity protected—safe even if connected backwards
  • Battery discharge warning—protects your power source
  • Runs from car socket, batteries, or any 12V supply

Cold night, dry optics. That's the whole idea.

Controller features

Precise, silent, reliable

PWM technology keeps output interference-free: no noise in your images, no interference with radio equipment at the eyepiece.

4 regulated outputs

Each channel is independently regulated from 0 to 12V, so you can run different bands at different power levels from a single controller.

PWM—interference-free

Pulse Width Modulation at 13 Hz delivers precise power control without generating electrical interference. No noise in your images or radio gear.

Flexible power input

Connect via car lighter socket, batteries with FASTON connectors, banana plugs, or standard 5.2mm jack from any 12V DC supply.

Protected & safe

Reverse polarity protection means accidental reversed connections won't damage the unit. Battery discharge LED warns before you drain your power source.

Heater bands

For your telescope, binoculars and more

ZeroDew works with Lunatico's own custom-fit bands and with any existing resistor heater bands you already own.

Alternative band type using USB connectors. To get the most out of ZeroDew heating tapes with a USB connector, please see the ZD Bands and USB plugs guide (PDF).

Third-party bands

Already own heater bands from another brand? The ZeroDew controller is compatible with all standard resistor heater bands: just connect and control.
