Orion Cloak Cover for Dobsonian Telescopes

No, this specific cover is designed for larger 12-inch to 16-inch Dobsonian telescopes. Using it on a smaller telescope will result in a loose, insecure fit that may not provide adequate protection.

While the material is water-resistant and tear-resistant, it is intended to protect your telescope from dust, dew, and sunlight during storage in garages, sheds, or observatories. It is not designed to be a permanent outdoor shelter against heavy rain or severe weather.

The reflective surface helps reject solar radiation, which prevents the telescope tube from absorbing excess heat during the day. This keeps the instrument cooler, significantly reducing the time needed for the optics to reach thermal equilibrium once you start observing at night.

Yes, the cover features a locking drawstring that allows you to cinch it tightly around the base of the telescope. This ensures a snug, secure fit that prevents the cover from slipping or blowing off.

The Orion Cloak comes with a convenient nylon carrying pouch. You can easily fold the cover and store it in the pouch to keep it clean and out of the way while you are observing.
