I have a Celestron C-11.  I ordered a "Dew Zapper II" from Orion last
November.  They have delayed shipment 3 times and have sent me a letter
telling me that they are having trouble getting parts and are discontinuing
the product.

Does anyone know where I can find a similar product.  This little gizmo fits
around the circumference of the correcting plate and provides enough warmth 
to prevent dew from forming on the surface of the plate.  There is some sort
of wire that plugs into a hand-held rheostat to control the amount of heat
being output.   I have a dew cap already, and I don't want a heated cap.

Thanks for any info.  Please reply directly to TENCATI@JPL-VLSI.ARPA.
