Telegizmos 365 Cover for 8" Newtonians on equatorial mount

Telegizmos 365 Cover for 8" Newtonians on equatorial mount

This cover is suitable for tube lengths up to 46" (117 cm) and major heights up to 62" (157 cm). The weight of about 3 lbs is not too much for the mount, but allows for good protection and long life.

In opposite to TeleGizmos´ standard covers, this series is designed for permanent use, which is very helpful as your telescope will stay closely to the environmental temperature, avoiding tube seeing.

The 365 Series Cover

is designed to meet the most demanding equipment coverage needs including 24/7, 365 outside exposure.

The 365 is a multi layered/dual material design that incorporates TeleGizmos´ original Solar Cover material as an inner radiant barrier coupled to an outer cover made of high count, acrylic coated woven polyester. This combination of materials produces an effective cover system capable of providing years of protection, even when used outside 24/7, 365.

The inner liner radiant barrier provides radiant heat protection, effectively protecting your equipment from radiant heat build up. Additionally, as a second inner liner it provides additional protection from water penetration.

The outer polyester cover is the highest quality acrylic coated weave. This American made material offers exceptional resistance to mild dew and UV as well as superior strength and abrasion resistance. Less than 1% shrinkage or stretch assures continuous proper fit. The water resistant capabilities of this material are outstandingly tested and shown to not allow moisture penetration from a spray test at 40 PSI, 1/2 inch concentrated stream.

A year of strenuous testing in some of the harshest outside environments, including the desert southwest, Florida Keys, Colorado @ 8000 feet and the Texas Hill country has proven the 365 Series to be capable of handling all types of weather on a continuous 24/7, 365 basis.
