David,

I have a new Hyperstar on my C14 and you don't need a dew heater. What you do need is a Kendrick warmer wrap around for the scope and a lenshood. I went to Clarke Rubber and got some 3mm black compressed foam and cut a piece about 12" long wide and wrapped this around and over the heater. This setup will keep the corrector plate and the H/optics dry.
