Model: az_dob_dust_cover_8Part Number: AZ-1408
Astronomers can get pretty finicky about cleanliness, especially when it comes to their telescope's optics. Unfortunately, dust is everywhere and it is next to impossible to keep it entirely off a telescope's optics. However, you don't have to allow dust to settle on your optics between observing runs. Astrozap Dust Covers are proudly made in the USA of a cotton and nylon blend material. A sewed in elastic strap allows the Astrozap Dust Cover to fit snugly over the open end of a Newtonian telescope, covering the tube and keeping dust out. This helps protect the optics from excessive dust accumulation on the primary and secondary mirrors, which translates into sharper images.
I have a Stellalyra 16" Dobsonian Telescope and this dust coverfitted it perfectly, I am very pleased with the purchase.
The original dust cover for my Skywatcher dobsonian was adequate but after time the elastic became stretched. One windy night it blew away never to be seen again. The Astrozap cover is of thicker material and has a stronger elastic so I am expecting it to last some years, as long as I don't lose it somewhere in the dark! Worth the money, recommended.
Very happy with this cover. It fits securely over the end of my Newtonian and the elastic grips very well.
Good product. Arrived in a couple of days and in good condition 🤗
Having bought Astrozap products before, I knew I was getting a good product. However I was delighted with the customer service, communication and prompt delivery, will order again!
