dust cover help

[pastiche]

Does anyone know where I can buy one of the plastic dust covers as used on a 10" Skywatcher Flextube telescope?

Sorry can not help but I also need one for my 12" so I hope some one has a source.

Try www.astroboot.co.uk or www.ensoptical.co.uk

Both have large stocks of bits and it is worth emailing or calling them if they have nothing listed on their websites.

Elasticated shower caps have often been put to this use. Lots of snazzy colours to choose from!

Is "elasticated" a real word?

I don't have a flex-tube, and not sure how specific your cover is ( ie, cover for storage, or a cover/jacket for when in use?) but I have used since day one,  on my Skyliner,  two heavy duty, clear rubble sacks, cut and joined together with clear tape, cut to fit the full length of the skyliner.
I think the likes of Asda do rubble sacks, but probably in a shade of blue? or better still try a DIY store, that is, if your unsuccessful in finding a dedicated cover.

For a smaller aperture frugal & water-tight entry - try a shower-cap used to keep your hair dry in the shower.

All things have other possibilites than only their intended use -

The astrozap covers are excellent, I use 2 on my 200p and they are a very good fit.
