Great for safeguarding your optics when not in use or for transportation to a dark sky site, this protective accessory is a must have. Read on as we take a deeper dive into the aspects of this dust cover!
A Reliable Shield Against Dust & Debris
A build up of dust and debris inhibits the overall light gathering power of your Newtonian, leading to lackluster results. Without a dust cover, this issue gradually worsens overtime, making your observing or astrophotography sessions less than ideal. This is why keeping your optics free from external contaminants is essential in upholding your telescope’s utmost performance! The Apertura Dust Cover seals away moisture, pollen, dirt, and other agents that may shroud your ability to collect light, while also upholding the integrity of the specialized coatings on your mirrors.
Protection of Your Telescope's Optical Coatings
The specialized coatings found on your primary and secondary mirror are vital in ensuring maximum light travels to your eyepiece or camera sensor. These coatings, along with the mirrors themselves, are quite delicate, and should only be cleaned when absolutely essential. Unnecessary cleaning can oftentimes result in accidental scratches to the surface, causing more harm than good. This Apertura Dust Cover helps you avoid any risky cleaning regimens, making it an invaluable addition to your accessory collection!
Form-Fitted for 8" Newtonians
Tailor made specifically for your 8” Newtonian, this dust cover fits snugly over the aperture of your telescope. Its secure, tight fit is designed to stay put even during transport, protecting your mirrors while on the go. When locked in position, this Apertura 8” Newtonian Dust Cover creates a protective seal from external debris and its thick, durable composition is built to last! If you’re looking to construct a stop-down mask or a DIY solar filter, this dust cover also functions as a wonderful frame for your custom projects.
