Telrad dew cover.

[Daz Type-R]

Hi guys and gals.

A few weeks ago I saw/found a post regarding somebody who made a home made Telrad dew cover from what looked like foam of some sort.

The person who put the post up also provided a template for the cover and good instructions of how to attach it to the Telrad (I beleive he velcro'd them on).

Can anybody remember / find the post as I have tried doing searches but can't find it anywhere, I have a sneaky feeling the template was on a link to an external site (not part of this forum) but can't quite remember.

Hopefully the person who did the post will see this.

Thanks for your time chaps,

Daz.

I have done one and there's an option here Home Built Astronomy - Telrad Dew Shield I made a longer one from another online template that I cannot find currently. they have a premade one on astroboot more often than not which is well priced and works well. I have one also.

I made one from the template in that link and it works a treat! Also made one for my standard finder while I was there

Well thanks to the link above I have just finished making my dew cover for the Telrad, total cost was £4.30 from Hobbycraft and took about 40 minutes to make.

Not perfect but when outside in the dark no one will know.
