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 12-14" vertically parked Dobsonians. 238cm / 94" circumference, 198cm / 78" 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.

Not got room for an Obsy? This has got you covered.
02 June 2021  | 

I have just finished installing my permanant pier so was looking for something to protect my mount (and occasionally my scope as well) from the elements. Another requirement was that the whole of the pier needed to be covered (to suit my wifes asthetic ideas). After a bit of digging and comparisons, the TeleGizmos 365 range seemed to tick the boxes.

From tip to toe, my pier and mount without a scope stands at 170 cm tall, so I opted for the 12-14" Dobsonian cover. I ordered the product on Saturday evening and it arrived by mid day on Tuesday which was fantastic service.

The cover itself is of heavy duty woven material with a quality waterproof coating. It is loned with another layer of heavy duty metallic fabric as a thermal barrier.

Since installing the cover, I have saved quite a bit of time and pain as I don't have to keep revisiting polar alignment.

We haven't had a downpour since I got it but I have no doubt that the cover is up tp the job.
