Telescope covers

[Jamie]

I am looking at investing in a telescope cover for the Meade AR6 and am wondering what ones people think are the best and why.....

Green Witch do a great cover for £25. It's like tent canvas and rubberised on the inside. Vents on the sides help prevent condensation and it's huge - covers my dob totally and I also have one for the sct - I bungee them to the ground or tripod legs when the wind is up

I use a BBQ cover I bought in Saisburys. It's just to protect my dob from dust etc in the garage, but it does the job.

Jamie,

Are you after a permanent cover or just a "star party" cover?

If the former, TeleGizmo 365 covers are the dog's you-know-whats - I swear by them. TeleGizmo in US are a pleasure to deal with and will make any size you request.

I use a disposable green garden sack (i.e. binbag!) from Tesco as my scope sits indoors

I bought a garden barbeque cover from Tesco when they have their end of summer garden sale in March, just before the Easter eggs come out . Only cost a few quid for a giant cover.

I have the Greenwitch jobbie myself and it works very well. Very easy to fit and off reasonable quality. Actually mine looks of a heavier grade material than the photo shown.

Another nod for the Green-Witch scope coat, earlier this year mine looked like the one in the 2nd pic in the link for weeks ! coat was almost frozen solid- but it came thru with flying colours without any problems for the mount
