TeleGizmos Warranty

TeleGizmos 365-series covers are warranted for one year from date of delivery including all labor and material. If your cover fails due to either a manufacturing or material defect, TeleGizmos will repair or replace the cover during this warranty period. Proof of purchase required. This warranty is fully transferable but does not include normal wear and tear.

TeleGizmos 365-series are the BEST telescope covers money can buy! 

Suitable for 10" / 12" vertically parked Dobsonians. 228cm / 90" circumference, 175cm / 69" height.

The TeleGizmos 365 series are designed for severe weather protection.

Features an inner layer of aluminised material for radiant heat protection coupled to an outer cover of highly water, UV and mildew-resistant acrylic coated woven polyester. This combination of materials provides years of protection, even when used outside 24/7, 365-days a year. 

The outer material also offers high strength and abrasion resistance with less than 1% shrinkage or stretch. 

Tested in some of the harshest US environments, including the desert southwest, Florida Keys, Colorado @ 8000 feet and the Texas Hill country, the 365 Series has proven itself capable of handling all types of weather.

NOTE: The cover does an excellent job of keeping out the weather but cannot eliminate condensation (the buildup of condensation is sometimes mistaken for a leak). This is true for all telescope covers. So the telescope must be allowed to dry after each use, before applying the cover. If the telescope is used only rarely and/or your area is prone to dew (i.e. in a valley or near a body of water), we recommend you occasionally remove the cover to let the telescope dry.

Perfect fit
09 June 2020  | 

I have a 12" Skywatcher Dob with Synscan and, while waiting for my mini observatory to be made ( by me!), wanted a cover that would allow the scope to be left outside most of the time. As there are two covers that would fit - 10"-12" and 12"-14" I did some careful measurements of my set up ( custom base which raises the stand by around 4" and took the plunge with the 10"-12" version. It's a perfect fit both in length and circumference. Just enough spare to get it on and off without a struggle but not too much spare when in place. The larger size would certainly have been much too long.
It's excellent quality material and initial signs with the recent rain are that it will do exactly what it says on the tin. Also now very pleased I don't have to do an alignment each time. Great service from FLO as ever.
