This heating tape is intended for small 'scopes (e.g. guide 'scopes), eyepieces, and similar-sized optics. I bought it for keeping the 'scope's rear tube-camera connection above the dew point as in high humidity conditions, I have had condensation occur on my camera's chip window. So far, it seems to be working satisfactorily. I also have one on my 120mm guide 'scope and it, too, is functioning well.
