Omegon Transport Bag for Optical Tube up to 93 cm (5 inch)

Omegon Transport Bag for Optical Tube up to 93 cm (5 inch): Protection for a 5-inch OTA

A telescope tube is fragile: the optics are aligned, and a bump during transport can disrupt that alignment, not to mention scratches on the tube. This padded bag protects against that.

Height and weight

The bag accommodates tubes up to 93 cm in length with a weight of up to 15 kg, which corresponds to most 5-inch telescopes. A zippered compartment provides space for eyepieces and small accessories.

Protection on the go

The thick lining absorbs shocks and the splash-proof material keeps out dew and light rain. The wraparound zipper makes packing and unpacking easy, even with gloves on.

Featured accessories

A transport bag only protects well if it fits. Measure the length and diameter of your tube before ordering: too loose will let the tube slide, too tight and you won't be able to get it in.

For whom yes and for whom no

• ✓ Owners of 5-inch telescopes
• ✓ Who regularly transports tubus
• ✓ Observers driving to dark locations
• ✗ Longer or heavier tubes
• ✗ For those who want maximum protection: choose a hard suitcase
