Much better than I expected. Very happy, gives me confidence to leave mount outside until I'm ready to bring it back in. Never risk your expensive equipment with the cheaper ones that will not last. Indoors I even cover telescope to protect from dust too lol.
Thanks flo for great customer service.

Arrived in good time and condition , as normal with FLO. Its late spring at the moment and so far to real bad weather. Used it for a classic C8 on NEQ6. Fits fine but lengthwise, I'd have preferred a little longer . It comes just past the leg brace/ eyepiece holder where the powered USB hub and handset sit so expect it will be fine. No ties to secure it with, hence a 4 not a 5. It can get a bit windy where it is to be used so may have to add a strap or something, just in case.

Covers my C8 AVX scope well but It a little short and does not cover the tripod legs too well, hence 4 stars.
Quite expensive for what it is but it is a good quality heavy duty cover that should last for years.
Recommended.
