Joe Golias started his hobby in amateur astronomy in 1995, and four years later he formed his own company called Astrozap to improve upon telescope accessories for the amateur astronomer. Joe, with 30 years of manufacturing experience developed his first product with a razor knife, a block of wood, and some flexible material to create Astrozap's first product, the Flexible Dewshield in 1999.

Today Astrozap is a leading manufacturer of flexible and aluminum dew shields, with a large selection to match just about every telescope on the planet. Astrozap is also your source for dew heaters, dew controllers, light shrouds, eyepiece trays and other innovative products for the Modern Astronomer that are proudly handcrafted in the USA, and has been internationally recognized for their quality of workmanship and customer service.
